[QUOTE="Hawkeyeguy, post: 1245081, member: 98515"] Jrock-Red hawk was a great tip. Nicely priced offerings. Dmj-thanks for pointing out the trigger importance. I was slightly under rating that mod. But you're definitely right. Tis a big deal. Mudrunner your advice has been invaluable. I was already very interested in 5R and I think I'll make that an official endorsement. Now, taking from catamount's .02.. would it be possible and smarter to shop around and build a better rifle for the money, than to just buy a factory model of the 5R. I mean, winter is coming very quickly up here, so I've got time to shop before I get to training in the spring. It is a semi daunting task considering I know very little about the workings of rifle. Seems simple enough though, and all the more reason to learn, piece by piece. From reviews I've read, I'm under the impression that an action is an action. They can be fine tuned as can most parts but they come out of factory generally homogenous. However, you never know what sort of barrel you will get from a factory gun. Therfore, if I build a gun up, would it be smart to invest in a barrel constructed by a gun wizard? [/QUOTE]
