[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 2027231, member: 110896"] Why not buy the items that constitute a rifle and have a gunsmith of high reputation assemble it? I did that with a target rifle I built. The first iteration used a Krieger barrel with a SAAMI chamber in 300WSM; it never shot better than half-minute. The second iteration used a Hart barrel in my .300-caliber wildcat chambering; its best group was a 0.135 MOA. I'm now fooling-around with a Zermatt Arms TL3 short-action in a lefty-bolt/righty-port configuration that will use the 6.5-284 Norma chambering. Barrel will be an X-Caliber to fit the Savage small-shank dimensions. I've decided to spend about $250 for the trigger; have not yet decided upon which outfit will supply it. The stock will be one of those MagPro 700 Series thangs that can be set-up as a righty or a lefty. The scope will be the killer, though. I want a Nightforce; I'm mentally prepared to spend over $2500 for an 8-32X model. What I can't buy is the time to take it out to the desert and shoot it. I drive for FedEx Ground. I've been working six days a week for months on end. I see no end to the grind... [/QUOTE]
