Buy some legos and put something better and cheaper together yourself.

Fierce, the company that ended up in a lawsuit with a dude because the rifle he bought had a smoothbore barrel?

That could have been solved alot quicker and cheaper with good CS.

Horizon it is then. Since I am not going to build or commission a build.

Rifling is an extra charge.

Wondered why I had never heard of either one

Probably because neither company run ads in American Trapper magazine.

My son bought a Horizen of GB and it came with a 3 days Safari hunt. He likes the rifle and it is very accurate (300 prc).

IIRC they use Stiller actions

Honest question I think I worded wrong or it was taken wrongelsewhere , What would keep a buyer from building a rifle themselves and having a smith fit the barrel maybe bed the action vs buying factory/semi custom high end rifle? Is it lead time? MPA is long so cant be that. Seems like with some of the new companies making nice comp or hunting rifles alot of shooters are going that route?
I like the option of getting each component exactly how I want it and not being constrained to stock options.
Just currious

It's never been easier to just screw one together. That's all most of the semi custom guys do.

You don't need a smith for anything if you pick compatible parts.

Buy a stock with an aluminum bedding block, trigger, modern action and prefit barrel. Maybe bottom metal depending on the stock. Screw them together to spec and off you go.
