I'd do it. I'm on my 4th one and didn't now squat about rifles a few years ago. About $2,200 is the absolute cheapest you can do it with a wood stock, steel CBI prefit barrel, origin action, no cerakote or muzzle device. Shoots lights out though. Defiance anti (before the price hike), proof...
I'm currently putting one together too. For those that aren't limited by a short action mag, what are COALs for 140 gn variety projectiles? Hawkins makes a DBM with 2.88" capability. Thank!
