[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1680522, member: 68875"] How can the smith give you a complete rifle a month after the stock arrives if the action/bolt is not complete? Sounds like a Stiller issue, not a smith issue. I would be chewing the ear off of Stiller, not the smith. This is why I source my own parts before I drop everything off. I have had fully built rifles back in 2-4 weeks when I supply the parts. If I rely on the smith, I have waited 6-10 months. They don't keep everything in stock, especially for a .338LM (I assume) build. I ordered a Manners beginning of January. No word on it yet. I have waited for months for pretty standard actions too. Not even .408 type actions. Waited 8 months on a barrel once. Precision custom components from high end companies takes time. You don't go to the best steak restaurant in town on a Friday night at 7pm and expect a USDA prime 28oz Ribeye in 15 minutes from the time you walk in the door do you? This ain't Jimmy John's....
