And I must say I am very pleased with the result! Someone here made a suggestion for someone who might do this, but for the life of me I couldn't find the thread where it was!
So I started looking around and found a couple of places that would do it. Ahlmans Gun Shop in MN got the nod, quoted me $200 for the work and to me it was money well spent. They not only did a nice job on the re-checker but threw some sort of finish on afterwards, good enough that I don't feel compelled to strip and refinish as planned. It looks just right now as is.
Its a fine shooting rifle and now looks a whole better than it did as received. Here is before and after.
