After I read this article on "Building a long range rifle on a budget" at this link: http://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/long-range-rig.php I decided i wanted to look into the process of building my own long range rifle. I'm more interested in doing a semi-custom build, basically want to buy parts and put them together.
I've tried googling and searching these forums, looking for some step-by-step instructions on how to do this, but I'm not turning up much. I'm interested in a 7mm, but any instructions at this point will help me to understand what it takes. I just want to get an idea of the whole process I would have to go through, as well as the tools I would need to buy in order to do this, so I can decide if I really want to undertake a project like this.
Are there any good articles on the internet, or books you would recommend? Is this a bad idea for a newbie like me to try something like this...I figure everyone has to start out somewhere?
Thanks in advance.
