[QUOTE="Aldon, post: 323173, member: 20047"] I am not an xpert but here is what I think I know. I think that it indeed possible to build a good rifle without machine shop. But it cant be done on the 700 without smithwork I dont beleive. However if you go the Savage route, I would think it is plausable. Target actions are available, Pre turned aftermarket barrels etc... I am in similar boat as you in wanting to build a rifle. I have some machinist training but do not have the necessary expertise or equipment tooling to do all the tuning for the action and turning of the barrel etc. But from what I have read on this forum, it is not too much of a stretch to loacte the right parts and assemble your own Savage. Stevens is basically Savage, so that action would work as a starting point as well. [/QUOTE]
