[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1281219, member: 50867"] Over the counter rifles can be a crap shoot and if you need warranty work you've got to rely on the company's acceptance, turn around time, and their promise to do quality work on any repairs. I'm OK with using a factory action (Remington, Savage, ...) and a good gunsmith to build a good rifle on that foundation. But that's about it. I'm partial to McMillan stocks and Bartlein barrels. Had very good luck with those combinations. You've already got your eye on an extraordinarly high quality action (you've got nice taste - expensive, but nice) so if you're willing to put that much into an action I'd say take on the whole enchilada and build what you truly want. Just remember that long range competence only comes after excellence in short and medium range shooting. IMO, starting at long range isn't the best way to enter the sport. [/QUOTE]
