Update on this. I did a quick google search and found a local "gunsmith". Stopped by to see them, talked to one of the owners about doing it and he said it wouldn't be a problem, got a price of $35 per hole, and I left one of the barreled actions with him then and stopped by to drop the second off yesterday.
When I stopped by yesterday I was handed my original barreled action and told they weren't able to do it. Seems they'd drilled it out and partially tapped it but had a problem and were scared to mess up the action. So now I'm stuck with a hole I can't use the original 8-36 with and isn't tapped deep enough to hold the Bad Ord bottom metal pillar tight with the 1/4-28. Gave me a discount so I only had to pay $25 rather than $35....great deal...only cost me $25 to make it unusable.
