[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3679958, member: 33119"] Any of the smiths listed here: [URL="https://www.okshooters.com/threads/custom-gun-plumbers.227752/"]Custom Gun Plumbers[/URL] will do a good job. Me personally, I would probably lean more towards Jon Beanland or Crescent Customs because I’ve dealt with them in the past. Basically you can source all your own parts (stock, action, recoil lug?, trigger, bottom metal, barrel, muzzle break, etc.) or your smith can gather it all for you. If this is the direction you want to go, check with many of those listed to get pricing and build time. Also let them know what you’re wanting to build. Many of these guys are busy and have small to no staff so, they may take a while to answer their phones or emails. If you already have an action, say a Remington, they will want to square it up, cut new threads, and add a different recoil lug. You can purchase an aftermarket action with or without an integral recoil lug that shouldn’t need any work on it. A quality barrel will run about $350, times 2 to chamber and thread it not to mention a metal finish. Personally I would have the barrel throated for a specific bullet if I could. Name your poison as far as stocks go and don’t forget the action bedding cost. As far as bottom metal, choose you preference. You can run a box mag or a detachable box mag. Building a custom bolt rifle isn’t cheap. You’ll still probably have to reload for it because there isn’t much to be had for quality off the shelf 264 win mag ammo. But, after you have one and work up a load for it, it will amaze you how well they shoot. [/QUOTE]
