[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 900964, member: 51650"] If you need a smith to do it all then the cost is more because a good workman is well worth his wages. If you can handle some of the work you can save money. Glass bedding a stock is a DIY project if you take time to learn all you can. One good thing: a Dremel tool can remove mistakes. I find it a lot of fun and detail oriented but not complicated. Some stocks have aluminium bedding blocks and are drop ins. Triggers are drop in replacements for the most part. I personally would contact the barrel company and ask how much for them to do the install. It becomes a one stop shop and eliminates headaches. Scope and rings are DIY no problem. Just don't hurry. But another option is to contact Len or one of his sponsors to see if they have something in stock that suits your needs. There is a lot out there that wasn't available just a few short years ago and nothin' is better than out-of-the-box simple! When I look at the websites I find a lot of what is offered is what I would order if I wanted custom. My opinion- this is the best first choice. KB [/QUOTE]
