[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 1569835, member: 73596"] I dont know that I will ever buy another rifle off of the shelf, assuming that I want good quality and accuracy. I dont mind a little work, but litterally, procuring a.d assembling your rifle is simple. My first stop.would be northland shooters supply. If you want high end, buy a big horn action. From there, Jim can set you up with a high quality pre chambered barrel in Shilen. Grab a triggertech trigger, recoil lug, and barrel nut, and a go gauge from jim and you are all set. Pick up.your action from a local FFL of your choice, and you can have the whole thing assembled in under an hour. Shop for a stock with a bedding block or at least pillars, and drop it in.....done! If you want to squeeze more accuracy out of it, bed the lug, or the whole action, or pay someone $150 to do it. I've done this 6 or 8 times now, and all are sub 1/2 moa shooters, and none have had complications that required intervention by a gunsmith. I am not saying that a gunsmith or professional rifle builder is a bad option. But I am at a point now where I only go that route when there is a need for machinery. Lathe, mill, or whatever. Try it, I doubt you will regret it. [/QUOTE]
