[QUOTE="dodgefreak8, post: 559263, member: 4965"] I have no idea how to make this any more clear but I am going to try.... If I pay a smith to chamber and install the barrel on my custom action... buy quality parts i.e. bottom metal, trigger etc...... I am fairly confident that I can "bolt" the gun together in under 2 hrs. I have taken an over complicated bedding job out of the picture using a Hart stock with a bedding block. I am sure this is done on a cnc machine exactly like the video. I will have the action skim bedded to the stock. Ok now I don't care if the rifle is $3500 or $10000, what are they doing for the extra $$$ and time. I am not trying to compare a gunsmiths knowledge and equiptemnt to my own. I NEED to know this so that I can decide if I want to have a smith do 100% of the build or TRY it myself. I am simply trying to understand if I am missing something. What magical thing are they doing over and beyond chambering and installing the barrel. That is all I want to know [/QUOTE]
