I am very confident in my mechanical skills. If I had the time I'd go get a machining degree. Right now I work in aerospace fabrication running a CNC laser.

I also ascribe to the Nathan Foster methods of accurizing rifles. I am also going to fully glass bed the rifle and stiffen the fore end with Score-High Pro-Bed 2000 Glass Bedding compound per Nathan Fosters excellent YouTube series on glass bedding rifle stocks.
