custome build a bolt action rifle

[joey]

how do i get started.

Choose a use tactical, varmint, across the course, benchrest, FT_R etc. This will give you an idea of what action, stock, caliber, barrel. Figure a budget you can afford to double up on quick. Do a lot of reading in places like accurate shooter, THR and other sites. If you aren't a great machinist with access to good equipment look for a gunsmith who builds such rifles...

Midway

I think Midway and Brownwells have some videos on Utube about building off Mauser 98 actions using their hand tools for truing barreling and reaming etc.

Rem 700 is a great platform to work on. Buy an action and work from there.

Savage also sells actions.

Stevens 200 is a cheap way to start, quality barrels can be had bolt on ready.

I had plans on upgrading my .223 Stevens, but after bedding the stock it's sub MOA, so I'm just going to wait till the barrel gets worn out.

For Savage & Stevens, try Northland Shooters Supply on SavageShooters.com. I've bought from Jim a couple of times.

You have it transferred by a dealer, just like a firearm.
