[QUOTE="waspocrew, post: 2699759, member: 78732"] I’ve found the opposite to be true - if you’re not in a hurry, you can actually find some great deals to save some cash. While some gunsmiths may actually have all of the parts available, if they don’t, you are at the mercy of the supply chain. For me, it’s been easier to source my own components, deliver all parts to the gunsmith and have it assembled. You are right about the convenience of ordering from a reputable smith and just waiting though. GA Precision builds some very nice rifles. As others have mentioned, you could go with a Zermatt (or one of many other brands) action, grab a prefit barrel, trigger of your choice, and a manners with mini chassis, a few tools and assemble it yourself. My last 3 rifles have all been assembled at home and shoot great.
