[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 559487, member: 26019"] I publicly apologize for the undeserved rudeness of my plumber remark! There is not a good answer to your question. I do not know your capabilities or understanding. The do it yourself market is very large, and it is very rare to see a person not happy with their own work. You could end up with a piece of eye candy that shoots every bit as good as anything I can build. I'll bet that the bulk of the people on LRH are doing their own work with their pre-existing barreled and triggered action. The cost of building my own personal rifles with my own labor makes me sick too and for me there is absolutely no way to put less money into them. There is a very large difference in what makes a person happy with sporting rifles. As an example I have a Dangerous game rifle that I have over 11,000 dollars in parts and shop time and no scope, is it worth it, probably only to me. When we start talking actual custom builds instead of customized builds there is so much difference in prices simply because there is so much difference in cost, and when a person buys a true custom they have just bought a heck of a lot of spendy parts that must meet expectations. If you care enough about the sport to do as much as you can, there is a very good chance that you will end up in someones shop ordering a custom. Plan on that day with a savings account. It means that you really do want that rifle, its not a whim and yes you will be happy! [/QUOTE]
