[QUOTE="NickW, post: 1603288, member: 102067"] Since the introduction of precision, match quality, pre-fit barrels like those for the Impact Precision action, building a rifle yourself is pretty easy. You can order a barrel from Robert Gradous or TS Custom, a manners stock (mini chassis), trigger and optic. With a barrel vise and action wrench you can install the barrel on an impact action and it will be perfect. Load development and you’re done. There’s no longer a need to send an action out to a Smith to have a barrel head spaced and shoulder to your action. I’ve done two of these and I’m no Smith. Both shoot bug holes. Want to switch calibers? Just order a new barrel in whatever caliber you want as long as it shares the same bolt face. Want to run a short action magnum, just order a new bolt, barrel and magazine and you’re on your way. It really couldn’t be easier. The other nice part of doing this is that you’re not waiting months and months for a Smith to finish a rifle. You can literally order the parts and build a rifle within a couple weeks. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
