Need Education on DBM Fitment

[Phil3]

I am pretty sure I am going to use a Howa 1500 short action in 223 for a rifle build, but as a newbie, a bit confused on DBMs, inletting, and bedding. Am I best served by buying the DBM (CDI or Roedale), action, and stock, and shipping all off to someone to fit it together? It would seem that bedding the rifle w/o the DBM and then later trying to fit the DBM could pose fitment problems. Not sure if I can add the DBM later, or...?

Phil,
Buy your pieces and make the 20 minute trip to Spartan Precision in Concord. Marc builds killer rifles and is a really good guy to work with.

I'll second that for Marc at Spartan Precision Rifles. He's close to you and does excellent work.

OK. Been in contact with Marc and he has been trying to talk me into a Remington, but I really wanted the Howa. And Marc said he would work on them, so hopefully he will remain as helpful as he has been so far if I deviate from his recommendation.

Will get the pieces and have Marc work his magic.
