[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 372902, member: 2736"] That's a lot of questions but they can be answered. First I would locate to or three Gun Smith's In your general area and talk to each one about building your rifle. This will tell you which one you won't to use based on how interested he is and how willing he is to help you decide what "YOU" need and not just sell you a rifle. Things you will need to know befor you talk to the smith; Intended use, approximate weight that you would like, Type of barrel material (Stainless or chrome Molly), Style of action and material best suited for your use, and type of stock(Composite, Laminate or standard walnut). This will get you started with the smith and if you find the right one he can guide you in the right direction To get the most bang for your buck. The other method of buying a rifle that is complete is to buy one that can be Customized if it does not perform to your satisfaction. (Like triggers,stocks and even custom barrels). Choosing the first Custom rifle is like walking through a minefield, If you are given good advice and if the smith has your best interest at heart it will be a cake walk but if not it can be a nightmare. Read as many post as you can and look at all of the rifle builds you can on this site and you will have a better idea of what you want befor talking to the smith's. Take your time and develop a plan and stick to it and it will be a great experience. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
