[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 2193440, member: 85874"] Avoid the do everything gun. They don't exist. Be honest about the intended use of the gun. Be honest about weight expectations. Don't give the smith a weight limit and then keep adding things to the rifle. Discuss the Max budget and once you get a quote don't add items to the build or expect the cost to go up. Generally the less a rifle weighs the more it costs. Select a good smith in the first place. Don't select a smith with quality issues and then complain when you have quality issues. You get what you pay for and good smiths are not cheap. Then again it is also not cheap to have a rifle done over if you can find a smith that will work out another smiths problems. [/QUOTE]
