[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 3030110, member: 73596"] You can absolutely build everything from a full custom to a budget build at home, without the need for a lathe or any lathe work. There are two easy ways. One includes the purchase of a barrel vice (maybe $80) and the other about the same cost in an action wrench. 1. Buy a Big Horn Origin action, buy a Shilen Select Match barrel with barrel nut, and also pick up the action wrench and barrel nut wrench. Buy, rent, borrow a 260 Go Gauge, and the whole process takes under 30 min and is same exqct process as rebarreling a Savage. All things can be bought at one time, including a trigger tech trigger from James at Northland Shooter supply. 2. You could buy a Big Horn Origin action and a shouldered prefit barrel for that action. The shouldered prefit is installed and torqued onto the action, and as long as the factory chambering was done right, the headspace should be perfect, by just torquing the barrel to spec. You will still want to check headspace with a headspace gauge. This process can also be done quickly and easily, with the use of a barrel vice from Brownells, and an action wrench for for an Origin. This approach is a little more expensive in the way of tools, but if you ever wanted to swap that barrel, or do the same thing for a buddy, you have what you need. If you want to give this a go, some of us might even be willing to loan you some of our tools, amd coach you through it. There is a whole different level of satisfaction in shooting and hunting with a rifle that you built (assembled). Reach out via PM for more info. [/QUOTE]
