1. Weight. It's real easy for the weight to get out of control. Gunsmiths would always rather build them heavy because it's easier for them to make a heavy rifle that shoots.
2. Letting a gunsmith talk you into what he wants to do instead of what YOU want. I'm all for listening to and taking sound advice, but there comes a time when you've gotta just say "this is the way I want it, make it happen".
