So just a few questions for the guys that have done custom builds or semi custom builds.
I've been playing around with the idea of a custom rifle build but I want it to be a complete DIY project. It's looking like for a full custom my best bet would probably be to build off a terminus zeus action with the quick change. I'm not sure yet if I would want to run multiple calibers but the functionality to do so would definitely be nice. Are there any other recommendations or suggestions of actions I could utilize being strictly DIY? If my understanding is correct I could buy a vice and a barrel wrench to torque the barrels on. I don't have any experience with this but I have built a few ARs and can't imagine torqueing the barrel is much different.
I also thought about the semi-custom tikka route. Everyone says they shoot great and I would really only want to swap the stock to something more aesthetically pleasing and ergonomically friendly than the factory stock. Is this as simple as I would imagine? I would probably be looking at a lightweight hunting stock maybe a manners or mcmillan.
Any thoughts and insight are appreciated in advance. Thanks all!
