[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1880553, member: 1656"] Do you have some technical ability and like working with your hands? Or do you hate spending the time and have the funds to have a rifle appear at your door? I built my Edge with a Stiller Predator action, McGowan 30" Sendero contour barrel, and McMillan A3 Sporter stock. If you're happy with a single shot this is really easy and no difference from building any other rifle with a barrel nut. I wanted mine to be a repeater, so it was more complicated. I milled the read of the magazine opening back almost 1/4" with a Dremel to accept the Wyatt's long box. Then modified the bolt stop to allow the bolt more rearward travel to pick up the back of the case. Feeds like a dream now. It shoots right in there with my heavy barrel F-class rifle and I've placed in competition to 2000 yds with the Edge and taken game to 730. 285s at 2980fps. I enjoyed building mine. Money I would have spend on a smith went to building 1-2 additional guns. But if you want to go the smith route I'd look at Shawn's offerings. [/QUOTE]
