[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 695318, member: 2736"] After reviewing the web site and all of the comments I better understand the thinking and process behind the offer to let you build your rifle yourself. This is a great offer/deal for someone that wants to be involved in there own build. I think I have put most of the pieces together and I am more comfortable with the process now. First= all of the componants are chosen buy the shop and in the inventory to save time waiting for parts. The barrel looks like it is pre-threaded and short chambered in standard calibers. This would save lots of time but still give the customer a chance to do the final chambering and head -spacing. The action is a custom actions and should not need any blueprinting saving more time and taking nothing away from the build experance. The stock can be pre-inletted and with a bedding block and minimize stock to barreled action fitting and even possibly bedding. These steps make perfict sense and would assure that the customer could complete the build in the 4 to 7 days allotted. The choice of componants would be the Smiths for total control of the time restraints and to eliminate any unknowns and to produce a quality rifle. Hats off to Mr Gradous for offering this service. He has invested in high end parts as stock items and offered a service that most of us wouldn't or couldn't. As to the comment that he doesen't use the 700 action, That is not a reflection on any factory action, just the fact there are unknowns with any factory actions before they are blueprinted that could effect the build schedule. Not being able to chose the barrel maker and the type /brand action might be an issue with some but not with others. Having trust in the smiths guidance in these areas is important. Sounds like a great deal if you can afford the time and money. Just my thoughts. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
