[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1605258, member: 1656"] If you are willing to go the barrel nut route, the only reason I'd say wait is if you want a custom action. If you are willing to use a donor, I'd just buy the donor rifle and enjoy shooting the snot out of it knowing that you are going to trash the barrel when you get the chance anyways. When Gander was closing I bought the cheapest Remington 700 .223 they had. I shot the snot out of it knowing I was going to rebuild it as a 6X45 with a McGowan barrel and McMillan stock as a light deer gun for my daughter. I got several hundred rounds through it before I rebuilt the rifle; I was actually torn about doing it because that was the most accurate factory barrel I'd ever owned! [/QUOTE]
