[QUOTE="2buffalo, post: 2530988, member: 122577"] Good story. I understand the DIY thing I would have done the same when I was younger. Not so much anymore. When I invest money into something like this I want someone with the reputation and experience to do the work. Especially since there are custom builders around that would have built the rifle and supplied the parts for equal to or less than you have into doing it yourself. Hats off to you for doing it yourself. At this point I would send it to a gunsmith to do a once over for you. You could have a couple issues that would cost you more in time and components than the price of a gunsmith checking your work and your barrel. I also believe you should be able to exceed your velocity expectations in both calibers fairly easily with the bullet weights you are choosing in a SAAMI chamber. My $.02. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
