This has probably been asked a hundred times, but I couldn't find a "by the numbers for dummies" thread explaining what basic components are necessary. For the pure satisfaction of having done it myself, I want to build a 6.5 Creedmoor and would really appreciate some help. I won't be competing for money, or taking it into combat. I just want a self-built 6.5 CM with the potential for exceptional accuracy. Will any Savage 10 short action work? Should I buy a used model 10 and then order a barrel, let's say, from E. R. Shaw (I like their helical fluting)? What's the easiest components for a newbie to work with? I supposed I'm looking for a simple, military style, by-the-numbers tutorial from some of you "builders" who have been down this road. Thanks to those who have the time? Hoo-ah!
Would I be better off finding a used .308 size bolt (243, 7-08, 308) and doing a .260? That would probably be easier to find, huh?
