[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 1942867, member: 113623"] I built my own precision rifle using a Big Horn TL3 action and a Proof pre-fit barrel. While you can buy an action wrench and use a vice I did opt to just pay my gunsmith to torque it on because it was cheaper. I think he spent more time fitting it into the barrel vice than it actually took to tighten it. The more high quality components you start with, the less fitting and "gunsmithing" that is really needed. My barrel and action matched up exactly as they were expected to because of the tighter tolerances. Every other part of the assembly is easy/DIY, and even more so if you go with a chassis or which doesn't need fitting/bedding. [/QUOTE]
