[QUOTE="FireFlyFishing, post: 2989671, member: 127412"] Hello all, I love the .308 Win cartridge. I own two M1A's that are a gas to shoot. I own several other .30 cals in various calibers. But alas…I don't own a .308 bolt gun!!! Everything in my soul is telling me not to buy a factory rifle to fill this hole. I've toiled over the modern offerings (which is limited with the 6.5 man bun covering every wall of every gun store I visit), and I just can't quite find what I want. What shall I do??? "BUILD A CUSTOM," a voice keeps telling me. So here I am. I've decided this is the way to get serious and build something special. And to me, chambered in .308, is the perfect way to do my first build. With all that being said, I have been doing my homework and have seen (from my perspective) two different routes to the end goal. 1. Buy desired parts and give to a smith for assembly. This could be shouldered or prefit. 2. Buy desired parts and tools and go the prefit barrel route built by my hands. The whole reason I started this thread, I've read enough posts on this forum saying prefits don't cut the mustard compared to traditional shoulder fits. Is this true? What say you? [/QUOTE]
