[QUOTE="rossneder, post: 133796, member: 7143"] I'm in the process of obtaining a 338 Lapua for long range lead delivery. I love the Sako TRG 42 but have a hard time with the cost. In researching this it seems like it would not be to hard to assemble some well made parts and have an equivalent gun for significantly less. I'm thinking of an AI stock, the new Predator XP action, Shilen select barrel, Jewel trigger and the misc minor components all based on the Rem 700 parts. The action comes ready to go, the barrel can be ordered chambered and threaded on both ends, trigger is drop in as is the stock. So what am I missing, where does the gunsmiths artful ability come in that adds a considerable expense to an already accurate gun? Clearly I will need to develop loads, but is there something else that would make this hard? Thanks, Ross [/QUOTE]
