[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 2376801, member: 99039"] Don't let anyone try and talk you out of it or tell you you cannot do it. I had a dream since I was a little boy to own my on Cattle ranch, my Grandad put that in my head by helping him when I was able to follow, gave me my first cow.. Well, I did it, had to go back to school to get an education to get a job to afford the property to do it, even had a wife that tried to kill it with the first one we purchased, Divorced her and had to sell, but ended up with a better place and a hell of a lot better wife. Now 21 years into the new place, I love it, it is paid for, and now it is time for my other passion and that is hunting, always hunted since I could follow my dad and grandad. I really love to build things, and always wanted to build my own rifle, after spending what I did on having a custom 28 Nosler built for me, I priced all the custom actions, barrels, triggers, bottom metal, stocks, etc. I figured for nearly half of what I paid, I can purchase and do myself, it is not rocket science, just have to familiarize yourself on all processes. If you take a certain build you can do and standardize that build to produce a 1/4 or 1/2 MOA with a particular cartridge or cartridges, then market your rifle with that accuracy and show proof, you should be able to establish yourself as word of mouth gets out. It is not an overnight success, but over time and if you have a deep passion for it, it will come together. If this past year has taught me anything, it is do not wait to start. [/QUOTE]
