Default Re-bluing Recommendations

Looking for some advice on where to take a rifle to be re-blued, hopefully somewhere in the Red Deer area. Its a Tikka T3 model, really just needs the barrel itself redone.

Also if anyone has done one recently what was the cost?

Thanks in advance.

Ken

Ribstone gunsmithing does a great job! I think his site says $250 for a bolt gun

I had Karl at K&S nickel plate 2 of my rifles back in the 80s . Holds up a lot better than blueing. I still have the browning bbr 338 and it looks like it was just done, that how good it stands up . Back then nickel plating was much cheeper so i said why not . Just looks like a stainless rifle now .
Back then $120. for blueing and $90 for nickel
