[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 2167954, member: 31749"] I own 2 custom rifles (and a 3rd thats at the smith right now getting put together) but honestly there's several outstanding custom actions these days that take prefit barrels and several mfgs that will turn around shouldered prefit barrels from your maker of choice... it'd be hard not to go that route on my next gun. Buy an action from one of the following: Defiance Ruckus Impact 737 and 787 Big Horn makes a couple ( but the defiance and Impact above have integral lugs and and scope rails so will be hard to beat unless your budget just wont allow it) I'm sure Im also leaving off another brand that will get the short bus riled up, but go over to Altus Shooting Solutions (they have all of this in stock) grab one of those actions, a trigger, a prefit in your caliber of choice, stock or chassis of your choice, and you will have a rifle that will smoke anything off the shelf and run close enough to make no difference to a full custom. Just my advice, worth exactly what you paid for it. [/QUOTE]
