[QUOTE="rharfo, post: 889567, member: 50031"] I feel your pain! Over several years time I too acquired several factory bolt guns. Most of them had some minor work done. I bought a few rifles as donor actions and had my smith rebarrel with Douglas barrel. All of them shot okay but the allure of a high priced rifle was still nagging me. I started to sell off all of the factory and semi custom guns. As I searched for a builder I came across a HS Precision that was exactly what I wanted. Stock color, length of pull and so on. Then I bought Swarovski glass and sold all of my Leupolds. I continued to sell and bought a Dakota and topped it with Swarovski glass. I had Red Hawk rifles build my 13 year old a custom and once again put , you guessed it a Z5 on top. My last purchase was a Cooper. Great gun but I am selling because I don't want to go down this road where I accumulate rifles again. The 300 win mag and 280 AI will do it all for me. I have a few others guns that are sentimental, so they will always have a place in the safe. Having one or two great guns with load development that puts the bullets on top of each other provides confidence. I just wish I would have done this years ago and saved myself a truck load of money! Good luck to ya [/QUOTE]
