[QUOTE="samueljf07, post: 1102779, member: 91369"] Currently in the process of starting a dream build of mine. I have mastered the AR platform, and wanting to expand my armory and knowledge on bolt guns. So far I have settled on using a Surgeon 1581XL Repeater action. I have picked the brains of several people and got the general consensus that surgeon is one of the best (if not the best) actions you can buy. I have also done a decent amount of research on barrels, and prefer to go with Bartlein. I plan on sending them the action and have them do all the gunsmithing work in order to not void the warrenty on either by having a local gunsmith accidently messing something up. The reason for the build is to use the Cadex Lite Strike or Dual Strike Chassis'. I find those stocks in particular to be absolutely amazing when it comes to function and sex appeal. Cadex has recently came out with a complete rifle using their Patriot actions and Bartlein barrels. I would like to get the same contour of barrel that cadex used or go with the M40 contour. My main concern is weight with the M40 contour. I do not know much about high end triggers for bolt guns either. I have heard Timmney and Jewell are amoung the best. As for the brake, I would like to keep it small and simple. Although there is not a lot of information about brake efficiency, the Barrett 98B brake is the top runner from ones I have seen. So what I need input on is the barrel contour, trigger and muzzle brake. Also, how difficult will it be to assemble everything once I have it all? [/QUOTE]
