[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1382930, member: 1656"] Bedding a stock is not rocket science. Neither is installing a barrel with a nut. Build a rifle this way once and see how accurate it can be, and you will think again about paying a smith hundreds of dollars for labor you can do in your spare time. I have a Remage built on a Stiller action and multiple Savage rebarrels done myself. I'm in the process of doing another Remage on a Remington donor. Thus far, every one I have built is a 1/3MOA gun. The Stiller build was a 338 Edge and I took 3rd in a 2000 yard competition with it. In your shoes I would ask what you think you are getting from having the smith do the barreled action versus getting a prefit. I have custom rifles, but likely will never get another, because I cannot discern the accuracy difference between them and the prefits I build myself for much less money. Admittedly I did recently have Kelbly do a barreled action for my F-class competition rifle. But fractions matter there, and more importantly, nobody makes a prefit for a Panda action with a 1.25" straight contour barrel.. Any other application, I'm screwing the barrel on myself. [/QUOTE]
