[QUOTE="Lee7588, post: 2787894, member: 123764"] When you look at actions with tight machining tolerances like Zermatt and Tikka and you go with a pre-fit barrel from someone that is reputable then you won't have any worries. I have done custom via gunsmiths and had some great rifles. I've done remage style rifles, setting the headspace was a little headache but cost effective. And I've also done pre-fit shouldered barrels, and at this point that is the only way I will be doing my rifles down the road. With a barrel vise and an action wrench I can have a different caliber to shoot in less than 5mins that includes changing out the bolt head. I would say to save the money on doing a practice gun and do the custom you want, it will save you money down the road. [/QUOTE]
