[QUOTE="wildcat455, post: 1477923, member: 102653"] Another good point. Ill add, and don't look back. I don't view anything firearm related as a liquid asset, especially if I'm building. I realize I am getting exactly what I want, and that the value itself is strictly personal. People have different tastes, requirements, etc. Kind of like jewelry or art. My rifles are definitely a luxury item. There is no need. There is only want. When I go through the custom build process, resale is not even considered in the equation. I'm building based solely on my wants and desires, and pocketbook. The application of that to others is not considered. Incidentally, I've never regretted a dollar spent for something nicer than what I wanted to start with. For me, regret only comes from trying to save money on it. I'm building my baby, and I'm not selling it. My firearms will be part of my legacy. Changing the subject a little, someone Might be better off cost wise to go through a private owner for the initial purchase of a donor rifle. You can get a better idea of what you are getting based on the person in front of you, and you'll probably pay less than pawn shop prices. But again, if you want something not owned, used, or potentially abused by a previous owner, but something new with your money. If those thoughts enter the equation, you shouldn't regret it. But you can't go back and second guess your decision. If you don't deserve the best you can afford, or maybe a little more, who does? If you are going to have a gunsmith customize your action, consider buying an already customized action. You'll usually get more for your money that way. [/QUOTE]
