"But Quality".. is a very broad spectrum LOL, but I can tell you I did save quite a bit, considering a prebuilt rifle I wanted to my specs was well over $2000, and I probably built it to my specs (minus optics/scope) for $1600 - $1700. But as per your second point, I got it exactly how I wanted it, right from the start. Why buy pre-built just to rip it apart, and replace parts. If you're confident you can build one, or have a a friend on hand that can, you're good to go ![]() No major tools really needed, except a roll pin punch and a upper receiver vice block (see brownells.com), oh and a vice LOL. I'll be honest, having built my own rifle now, I don't think I'd ever buy a pre-build again. It's like a car man, you'll just want to mod and customize it. ![]()
