[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1497072, member: 79865"] I have been thinking about how to build the Remington 700SA ADL that I bought a number of years back. It is currently a 7mm-08, and I used it to take a deer and my first elk so far. This is going to be my first build, so I am kind of guessing as to how this works. Anyway, I finally ended up making a decision, and started ordering parts and other such stuff. I found a bunch of 284 Winchester brass (150 of them), dies, a Krieger 1 in 8.5” #5.5 that will be 26” long, Wyatt’s box, BDL bottom metal, recoil lug, and a stock that I like. I am thinking about getting a new bolt for it, but I don’t know if I should just order it now or wait. I will also need to find a smith for the work, preferably in the Boise, Idaho, area. First off, am I missing anything? Second, how do I find and get set up with a smith? Third, I do want the action trued up, which is part of why I am unsure about ordering the bolt at this time. Any advice on that would also be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
