None but I did cut barrels for the ones I have and am slowly piecing together a big boy rifle.

not nearly as many as I would have hoped I would have . only 1 this year but with ammo and supplies being so hard to get in the quantities I would like to have I get why I have not had more built .
three, sort of. i bought all the components (tl3 & proof carbon prefit & krg bravo) from one place and they did the assembly (6.5 prc). 2nd i bought a tikka t3x lite and sent it and the proof carbon prefitbarrel out to have that installed (6.5 creed). third i finally did it all myself, bought another tikka and swapped the barrel out with a proof carbon prefit (300wsm).
the whole prefit thing is a total gamechanger. making bolt guns pretty much as easy and fun as AR's to assemble and swap stuff around.

None……waiting what feels like an eternity for ATX with 2 barrels and a vudoo over here in Australia. WTF!!!! Over it!!
Can it really be considered that you "built" a rifle-- when you just screw a few parts together?

Waiting on my tacops rifle and can. Doesn't count as building though but hopefully I'll see it soon
Wasn't trying to be a dick.... just my opinion that assembling doesn't equal building. My table was delivered without the legs on so that it could fit through the door- and each had to be bolted on- so now I'm a carpenter?
In any case- my goal for this year is to shoot the ones I have more, and not acquire another one to go in the back of the safe.

I built 2 rifles , built 2 houses also .
Built is the correct word , fact over opinion for the win.
I would consider it build if I just collected parts and screwed them together.
By the time I cut threads, cut chamber, headspace, make pillars, and glass bed.... I have taken it apart and put it together 50 times.
