I'll get some pictures of the parts this weekend and get them posted up.

How many different barrel mfg did you find in this caliber? Who were they? Any uber high end ones?
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

Blacklab mentioned a few but I checked all the major manufacturers and they pretty much all made them.  I went with Pac-Nor but looked into Lilja and Shilen also.  I wanted quality with this gun and have heard nothing but good about Pac-Nor.  I'll let you know how it shoots once I get it all put together.

Also forgot to mention regarding parts, depending on the action one chooses the bolt is actually much less commonly produced and harder to find.  PTG makes them and there was another company making them as well depending on the make of your action.

Looking forward to the finished rifle. It's only money and we all make it ever day. :tup:

Absolutely! And I sold another gun to finance this build so I'm really only going to be in to it for 3-400 out of pocket anyways.
