Building a .308 rifle ground up

[bthomas]

Any one know of any sites out there to purchase bolts, actions, and barrels? Any recomendations on brands. Im pretty much stuck on the .308.

thats extreamly vague. are we talking a custom br rifle, or a tactical rifle, or a hunting rifle? are we talking about custom actions like stiler, borden, lawton, etc. or are we talking about a smith to true your existing action?

ok now i put the 2 threads together. if you are going to go with aj brown i would let him talk you threw the process. he helped me a ton on my first build. i know he gets discounts on certain parts that he will past along to you (in the way of paying for labor) he will be your best friend through out this process

I have a heavy contour Savage .308 barrel sitting in my safe that has a lot of life left in it. Be a heck of deal for a starter barrel for you for double digit money.
Let me know if you want it.

I agree w/ vette, if you are having a smith do work for you, you should buy the parts from them, they know what works good and what doesnt.
