[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2816197, member: 68875"] I build them by sourcing my own components. It usually starts by getting something for a good price like a barrel or action, maybe a stock, then running with it. My latest, I got a Kelbly Nanook LA mag bolt face from a buddy who needed to sell it for an unexpected bill. So I planned out a whole new elk rifle on it. I ordered a TriggerTech Diamond right away and installed it when it came in. I also ordered a build to spec Manners LRH in Tac Moss beginning of October. They said 8-9 months, so I put the action in the safe and tried to ignore it. I figured I would be hearing from Manners in June/July timeline. I got a call in March that the scope was in final inletting amd would ship in 2 weeks. Time to order a barrel! Went online and found the exact one I wanted. Bartlein 26" 1:9" 5R #13 Carbon Fiber. Had it in hand in a week. Ordered a TBAC CB I found here on the site. Called up my buddy to use his .300WM RM reamer. We talked, and I swapped to the .300PRC AW2 reamer he had too. Picked up 100pcs Lapua .300PRC brass. I already have about 2500 of the Berger 215 Hybs on hand. I have about 30# of H1000 I have 8K of both Fed GM215M and CCI 250s. Pulled the ZCO 420 4-20×50 off my 7SS and bought a March FX 4.5-28×52 to replace it...probably. I did mount a TT315M on it already, so we will see where it ends up. Got the stock in, and added some love to it to make it pop. Dropped all my parts off at the gunsmith last week when I was finally in town, and they had a Hawkins M5 Oberndorf BDL in stock, so I am now all set for the complete build. Here it is with parts sitting together. [ATTACH type="full"]461853[/ATTACH] After the love [ATTACH type="full"]461854[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
