I believe they did machine work for Roy Chandler (Iron Brigade Armory) before he passed away. His rifles were really nice but they didn't have a huge following probably due to their overly expensive cost. A friend of mine has one in 308 and he paid a lot more for his than I paid for my GA Precision. Accuracy and build quality is no difference.It also sounds like you have more unanswered questions than answered. What's the rifles intended use and what bullet do you plan on running? Hornady/Berger ELD's/VLD's in 180-195 gr? Are you going to run a muzzle brake (I would)? Have you bought the bushing dies and do you know the process to resize the necks? Are you going with a no-turn chamber or do you plan on turning necks? Do you know how much free bore you plan on running? Are you planning on running a box mag or a DBM? This may affect free bore. Does Hart have a 7x300 reamer? If so, what are the specks and does it work for you?PR-6284 gave you a lot of good info as well and the person I would want answering them should be the one who will actually do all the machine work on your barreled action. That's why I suggested Jon Beanland. He's well known, stands behind his work, and his makers mark adds value if you were ever to sale your rifle.I cannot stress enough to call/email different builders for their opinion and prices. Often they are hard to get ahold of because they are over booked and under staffed. Don't just settle on Hart because they offer a barreled action for $715.</blockquote>
