[QUOTE="1SevenZero, post: 684456, member: 51825"] I did exactly what you are talking about. I had a Savage chambered in .308 Win. and wanted to build a hunting/target rifle. After a ton of research and brain picking from people way more knowledgable than I, I decided to go for it. I ended up purchasing a Shilen drop in chromoly match grade barrel with a heavy varmint contour. A bell and carlson medalist stock and I used bedrock glass bedding. The barrel I had installed by a gunsmith, because It was cheaper than buying the gauges and tools to do it myself. Also, as long as the barrel will last I won't be using the tools often enough to want/need to own the tools. Fitting the stock took a dremel and a few hours of my time. The most time consuming portion was preping the action and stock for the bedding. So far the rifle has been consistently shooting between quarter and half moa. It has been very rewarding and an eye opening experience. So if you are mechanically inclined I say go for it. [/QUOTE]
