Good morning guys, im sure this has been asked a bunch maybe not with the same rifle but im asking anyways lol. Im wanting to buy another rifle or build one. I really like to build things so thats factoring in as part of my decision. I'm looking at probably a 6.5 CM (i know, i know). Im debating between buying a action and building with a prefit barrel so i can do it all myself. I can cerakote at home so i can make all of this whatever color i want so the color of the HC doesnt have to be a plus as the semi custom could be the same colors. I dont really want to spend the money on a full custom action for this build as it may end up being for my wife so it will probably be a stock Remington or Savage action, maybe blueprinted maybe not. Is this a waste of money and time and i should just buy the browning x bolt hells canyon and be done with it. I dont think honestly the build if i dont use a custom action and depending on what stock i dont think it will be that much more than the x bolt and i get the added benefit of having a awesome barrel on it and being able to build it myself. Just wanting to see what you guys thought. Thanks guys!!
 
I have a Browning HC in both 6 creed and 6.5 creed. That both shoot like the 2 custom guns I have. Flip side I have the plain x-bolt in 308 win and it doesn't shoot like the HC guns. Don't know and not saying there is anything different accuracy wise between the HC and standard x-bolt's but my HC's do shoot better.
