Hello Guys,
Since I was a kid I have always wanted to build my own rifle. Now that I have a good job and some actual $$ to speak of I thought now would be a great time to start.
I have a good friend who is a gun smith and I am sure will help me through the whole process but I wanted to get some knowledge before I 20 questioned him. I was wondering if there were any books out there that walk through the process of constructing a rifle.
Realistically I just want a starting point, a reference, to understand what all I will need and the cost / process of installing everything. I have no intention of turning my own parts or my own stock, but more along of buying all the parts needed and putting them together.
Sorry if this is vauge, I really am just starting my research before i commit to anything.
I think I am commited on a 7mm-08 and the gun would be a left handed bolt action.
Thanks for any imput you guys can give me.
(forgive me if this is in the wrong thread)
