[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 1886390, member: 29241"] I have always been interested in mechanical things from a very early age. That includes rifles and shooting. After college had opportunity to hunt on two different farms and the one farmer was an accuracy enthusiast. We had options of deer and groundhog shots out to 1000 yards. After having two guns rebarreled by well known gunsmiths, my patience and money was running thin. Waiting 6 months for a barreled action to come back was even qorse than the money expenditure. It wasnt long until I purchased a lathe and jumped in head first. I was determined to be able to fit and chamber my own. Ordered good barrel, reamer and dies and for $800 or less, I could experiment with different chamberigs. Also learned to glass bed by just trial and error. Now you can learn all of this on the internet as any aspect is clearly videod in detail. The only drawback is all of the expensive tooling that you will want to buy. But that too is enjoyable and part of the game. With $8-10 thousand dollarsThe Big Boys guns are definitely desirable but that much money allows for a lot of enjoyment in doing it youself. A big boy gun expense hits you all at once, which is difficult to swing, but doing it youself is a little bit at a time which makes it doable. If I can do it you can to. [/QUOTE]
