[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 559135, member: 24624"] You won't save much unless you're doing a simple Savage barrel swap. I bought a lathe and have done several rifles myself with great results. But, I have to admit that I am not a professional. I don't have the cartridge nicely engraved on the barrel. I can see streaks where I didin't bother to polish out all of my barrel. There might be other little nics and dings. I'm eager to go shoot and I tell myself that I'll finish the job later which I never seem to get around to. Larry Potterfield has a commercial running that points out some differences between professional and amature workmanship. There are quite a few hacks in the profession. So, it pays to check out the smith before giving them your business. That's just another great benefit of this forum where their workmanship will be represented and discussed. -- richard [/QUOTE]
