[QUOTE="IndianaMatt, post: 2532339, member: 103744"] For what it’s worth- I have done what you are talking about but on a much smaller budget. I used a Savage target action, installed a PAC NOR barrel with barrel nut, bedded in a Boyd’s stock, and finally mounted a Zeiss optic on top. Oh the rifle was chambered in 300 Win Mag and single shot. I wouldn’t do it again. It was a fun learning experience. After that I had a rifle built by a professional in .280 Remington AI using relatively the same cost of components other than the stock. I spent a little more using a smith but the results were night and day different. Just my opinion- if you want to build one to say you did it- go for it. If you want to build one to have your ideal rifle- find a good smith. Pick your components, decide on bullet weight, cartridge, goal velocity, and rifle weight. Then talk to a pro. [/QUOTE]
