I would like to install a set of iron sights on one of my 6.5's.

This would involve a dovetail cut for the rear and possibly a dovetail cut for the front (or some other installation method)

My google search has revealed no good candidates to do this.

Does anyone know (emphasis on KNOW not googled) of a gunsmith that can do this?

Thanks

DO they accept shipped rifles?  Do they have a website?

There are a couple in my area.  I will pick their cards up from my friend.  Sadly the one I used the most past last year.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

DEH, not sure you have to have a dovetail broached into the receiver/barrel, a set of screwed on sights like they used on the old Remington 700's or the new Browning X-Bolt Safari might work if the bases were milled to match the barrel contour, then all you would need is a couple of holes drilled and tapped. That retrofit would cause no issues as long as you stayed away from the chamber area and it would be cheaper too.

Thought about that too.   Do you know Of A gunsmith that does that?  Keep in mind that I am talking about installing some front sights too.
