[QUOTE="koja, post: 2730294, member: 10218"] BiggBeans,to clarify,my cons were sarcastic.I don't really see many cons at all. My smith,T&D by trade, is long time friend,but he is a very busy one man shop,but he can fit in small machining jobs for me.He's chambering and threading a couple of prefit for savages for me this week.If I was to wait for a full build,4,6,8 months,who knows.I've been switching barrels on savages before prefits showed up on the internet,maybe berfore the internet itself. I can change from a an 18" 25 cm to a 17" 28 nosler on a Savage PTA SP'S under an hour.Sometimes less,if tools, parts don't walk off. To clarify,thats removing and replacing stock,scope, mounts,barrel,bolt head and nut.I also do my own remages, but remys can require more smith work.Remages take little more patience ,as the Savages and Orgins have a pin on recoil lug,slot in the reciever.The Orgin justs make all of the above easier,plus being able to use remington stocks , triggers etc. Tikka, I have left hand Tikka in 22-250, locally I can get more $ out of it than retail and it's my everyday truck, coyote calling gun, still holding 1/2 ish moa.I look at and wished it was tad bigger.I want to do a 6mm ackley and or 25 saum for a hunting and target rifle.6 AI and 25saum are very hard on barrels.In a year I'd be swithcing again.What is the bullet and brass supply in a year?If doing a Tikka,I would just buy the action,but ,hard to find Lh Tikka action,a bit pricey.If using my 22-250,LH bolt is $300-$400 or my smith will open mine up for nothing,but if I ever go back to .473.378,buy bolts plus ,stock,trigger,rabbit hole. Tikka pro's: uses same action length, change mags,change or mill bolt stop and will accept nut and shoulder prefits.So to me an DIY Orgin build for a lefty makes more sense than using a complete donor rifle.
