[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 147984, member: 7"] [ QUOTE ] 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? [/ QUOTE ] The Shilen barrel still has to be fitted to a headspace gauge - it is NOT ready to screw in - you will need a barrel vise, an action wrench, and headspace gauges, and a lathe with a bore size that will take the barrel. The rest you can do if you are skilled. Get the pieces parts, and have a good smith put the barrel on, and do the rest yourself - fitting should cost between $100 and $150, depending on who does the work. Don't take it to a pipe fitter at the local gun shoppe!! . [/QUOTE]
