Where are the good gunsmiths in Central Wisconsin?

One of my favorite smiths just closed shop, and I'm in need of a new gunsmith. So, does anybody have any recommendations for good gunsmiths in Central Wisconsin? I'm willing to drive pretty far for good work.

The more they are capable of, the better.

How far is "Pretty Far"?

Eric Meitzner is the best in the Solon Springs Area.

That's pretty far, but if he does good work, then it'd be worth it. What kind of platforms is he comfortable with?

Re buck460XVR: Thanks for the response! That's a bit closer.

What kind of work does he do AND/OR what kind of work has he done for you?

He did a trigger job on a Ruger 77/44 and a new front sight on a Rossi M92 for me last year. He was backed up for abut 4 months. He's semi-retired and is only open a few days a week now, but he's had a very good reputation for quite some time and came highly recommended to me. Going into his shop is like goin' back 40 years.........
