On May 5th of last year I took a rifle (model 70 Winchester) to my gunsmith for a rebarrel, replace stock, True and bed the action into the stock, and cerekote the whole thing.

I checked on it almost every week. I started out hearing how long it took to get a barrel. Then that he got the wrong barrel. Then he had to order a reamer. This went on and on.

Finally on January 13th, 8 months and 8 days after I took it to his shop, He called and said it was finished.

As it turned out, He did a great job and I am still working up loads, but it is looking like it's going to be the most accurate rifle I have ever shot.

I guess my thinking is that it seemed like it was taking forever, but after the wait was over and I shot it, I am starting to forget about the waiting time.

I hope this makes you feel better.
