[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4193999, member: 13337"] I just completed a very satisfactory sale of two Colt handguns,,, The proceeds are to be used in creating a 10/22 rifle,,, It will be for a gift to my very best friend. I've never done this before so I'll need quite a bit of assistance,,, I did order a book on building 10/22's from scratch,,, It should be here on Wednesday. So far all I've done is to surf the web and try to get a feel for the cost of the parts,,, I am one of those people who believe that aesthetics are important,,, So the rifle must be beautiful as well as shoot tight groups. I think I can do it with the $1,200 that I have budgeted,,, But if I've decided anything in my initial surfing,,, I'll not go cheap on quality components. If it's a choice between form over functionality,,, I'll buy quality action components,,, And go cheap on a stock. I had an idea what a receiver with bolt, trigger, and barrel would cost,,, But I underestimated the prices of those nice wood stocks,,, Fortunately those molded stocks are very affordable. Also it's fortunate I have a few scopes that will be more than adequate,,, I mean a decent one could easily eat half of my budget. Anyways it's all just speculation at this point in time,,, I'll read the book and come up with a plan,,, Then modify the plan several times,,, Then build the sucker. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
