[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1186396, member: 33822"] If you buy a good stock I would still consider bedding a custom barreled action yourself a full custom build... This is exactly what I did with my 338 RUM barreled action that was built by Jim Borden on his Timberline action and a Hart barrel. I bought the McMillan stock (custom inlet for my action/barrel by McMillan) and did the bedding job myself. I have held groups in the .1 moa range out to about 600 yards, and sub 1/4 moa out to 1000 yards. I also have a full custom 300 win mag that was built completely by Jim Borden, and this gun is shooting just as accurately as the 338 RUM. Your post sounds familiar, because my first full custom was the 300 win mag, and when I built the 338 RUM, I wanted to save some money so I did the bedding job into the stock myself. And yes, it definitely does save some money. Good luck with your build. [/QUOTE]
