Can you recommend a good smith for an 870?

I have an 870PM on order, and when it comes in I would like to have a trigger/action job done on it. This will be a tactical/training shotgun, so I am looking for a nice trigger (around 4lb) and a smooth fast action.

I can tell you that at some point the gun will go to VangComp for their goodies, but I would like to tune up the stock gun first.

Any recommendations would be appreciated! :D

How about RON KONTOWSKY of ACTIONS BY R.A.K.?

He's one of the mods over at Shotgunworld.com and he's offering a sweet deal right now for board members. See this thread:

Thank you all for the links. Hopefully I will have my 870 in a couple weeks. :D

SanduneCC, do you have any direct experience with Ron's work? The discount brings him in-line with the other smith's that were suggested, but I don't know if that just makes him comparable to the others or if it is a great deal on a great trigger job.

I was hoping you'd try him first and let me know! :cool:
