Hey, that helps because I forgot bottom metal. Anyway, I hope the OP gets the point that building a “true custom” isn’t out of reach. I’m more of a do it yourselfer. I have to hire a smith to do the chambering (specific to my wants) but that’s easy. You just send off the action, order the barrel and have it sent direct to him then wait a bit. When that’s done, it’s a simple matter to assemble the parts. A prefit only requires a few more tools. You also need an inch pound torque wrench and some bedding compound. Bedding a gun is only scary the first time. An adequate job is easy if a guy has a few brain cells working.
Just saying.
Hi, I’m the OP. I communicated with one on the best gunsmiths out there. He sent me some info to look at and will call back. It will just be a matter of finding out if I can afford. If I can afford i’m absolutely sure I will have a rifle levels above any i’ve Owned before. Excited to find out if I can afford it. I think i’m Going to find it doesn’t cost much more to go with the best that already has a well earned recognized reputation.
Before that I had tried calling the Remington Custon shop & just the phone call is a cluster mess. When I did get through all the options and get connected my call got dropped. You can tell from calling them they are trying to find an identity. They don’t know who they are yet between financial crisis, mergers, & buy outs.
