[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1152560, member: 30743"] I would build one instead of buy if I were trying to get into long range shooting. The barrel is the heart of any rifle and factory barrels are universally crap so replacing the barrel is almost required for any factory rifle if you're serious about long range shooting. Buying an entire rifle to start parting it out gets expensive, especially when you start replacing the stock too. Buds gun shop has remington 700 stainless actions for $400, one of those plus $350 for a bartlein barrel and you're off to a good start. You've got to add in trigger, bottom metal, scope, mounts, stock, etc. plus gunsmith fees but that's about the cheapest way into a good quality long range rig. [/QUOTE]
