It is said there are many ways to skin a cat, and that is true about building guns. My only suggestion is to not scrimp on the important stuff. I sent the gun off to Dennis Erhardt out Montana way and he bolted a Douglas XX blank to the receiver, took care of the safety issue and bedded the action. Dennis knows his stuff and is a fair dealer. After is came home I cleaned up the stock and added the pad. Another gun he built that put me on to his talent is a .416 Rigby done with an old G&H Mauser action. If I wasn't such a puzzy it would probably shoot as well as the .250. Despite that, it reliably plinks in the MOA range with several different 400 grain bullets.
Good barrels, good 'smiths...........winning combination.
