Buy Or Build?

[338RUML]

I am wanting to get a 26 Nosler just not sure if I should try to find one over the counter or build one, I have no idea how available they are or there price. If I built one I was thinking about just buying a 300 rum off the shelf new for 599.99 then using that action, then buying a match barrel and having my smith chamber and install it. Is this the best way to do this? What would you guys recommend? Ps I am interested in the 6.5-300 weatherby just not so into the 1800 dollar rifle then optics and 90 dollars a box for ammo. Any input would be great thanks

I would pick the 26 Nosler over the 6.5-300 Wby, as well.

Going semi-custom with a blueprinted action and an aftermarket barrel with the stock you prefer, is always better than buying an expensive off-the-shelf rifle that was designed to someone else's or to a factory manufacturer's specs.

Get the action and the stock you want and the only cost would be the barrel and the smithing.

You also get the best fit for the ammo this way.

Moe has a new custom 28 Nosler for sale right now on the Forum. I would try to swing it.

So if I bought a rifle over the counter would I still want to have the action blueprinted?

I'd highly recommend it...Regardless of brand or model.
