[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 2975639, member: 122313"] I agree with you 100%!!! Thats why I'm going to do all the work I can do myself. I'm not knocking anyone's opinion or recommendations or the companies recommended...... But im not going to pay someone $2500 or more to use their barrel vice. Now if I was turning a Remington 700 into something it wasn't when it rolled out the factory doors...... yes I'd buy a stock and barrel blank and whatever else and take it to a smith and have them do the lathe work and fit everything up. But I have enough tools and knowledge to be dangerous and not to sound disrespectful to anyone...... im not afraid to try to do something myself. I bought a tikka action not only because they are awesome actions but because everyone and their dog makes a prefit for them that I can screw on myself with a go-gage. I build a rifle about every 3 years it seems like. My needs change or hunting style and terrain change and I want a different tool. [/QUOTE]
