I'm having a rifle built right now, and after researching everything, it really doesn't seem very hard to buy everything and put it together myself. Am I missing something?
The actual machine work isn't all that complicated. But access to good accurate equipment would be the problem? But if you round up the parts there is a guy
here in KY that will put it all together for about 700 bucks. He is first rate!
$700 is the cost of a complete DIY rifle.
$250 savage 110 action
$300 for a barrel
$150ish Boyd's stock
I didn't even bed the last one and it still shoots .6 MOA. Rings steel all day long at 1000 yards. My daughter has zero misses at 700 and 800 yards.

Typically using an epoxy to fill the small gaps between the parts where the action rests in the stock. It allows the rifle to recoil without the action moving in the stock, allowing more consistent accuracy.That is pretty cool. I know this may sound dumb, but what is bedding a rifle?
Perfect action contact with the stock, most of the time using epoxy to perfectly mold the stock to fit the action.That is pretty cool. I know this may sound dumb, but what is bedding a rifle?
