[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 515607, member: 24624"] Actually, you could rent a finish reamer for ~$30 and set the headspace by hand. But, that presumes that you know what you're doing; that you have barrel/action wrenches; that your action doesn't need truing; that the tolerances happen to all fall into place between the barrel, receiver, and bolt. Any single misstep will set you back and you'd wish you'd sent it to a good smith. My advice would be to find out what it'll cost to get it done right and keep shooting it as is while you save up. -- richard [/QUOTE]
