[QUOTE="slabsides52, post: 681267, member: 49938"] Several years ago, several other idiots and I embarked on a couple budget minded rifle building projects over several months, using VZ and Argentine Mauser donor actions. All or our guns, five or six of them, were barreled and chambered by ER Shaw in .280 Remington. We were very satisfied with the results, all rifles shot less than 1 MOA @ 100 YDS, using ammo purchased from North Georgia Arms. Those of us who reload have gotten down to .75 MOA with no problem. These were budget builds. We removed the barrels, lapped the lugs, sent the actions to ER Shaw who installed and chambered 2 1/2 heavy varmint chrome moly barrels, then we bedded in synthetic stocks that vaired from the tupperware type to Bell and Carlson. Our only screw up was we tried to cut and reweld the bolt handles. How did they turn out? Not too good. Never broke, but werer ugly as hell. If I had to do it over, I woud have had ER Shaw go ahead and install a new bolt too. Although ER Shaw is not know as a premier barrel maker in our neck of the woods, we were very satisfied with the results. [/QUOTE]
