[QUOTE="Guest, post: 9803"] Boy, you guys don't quit, do you??? I'm also wondering where the $3500 figure came from.... I have several tactical style rifles and I don't have that in any of them WITH the NXS scopes, and Badger bases and rings. If you figure that an NXS, and Badger metal will run +/- $1400, then that puts the finished rifle's cost in the $1800 range. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><HR> Rings 145 bases 135 Bottom metal 290 Barrel 350 break 125 stock 425 teflon finish 250 fluting 110 bolt knob 95 jewel 245 recoil lug 25 <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> That stuff there is $2100 + so CM is giving us a hell of a deal on his work, considering a finished rifle minus the scope is running in the $2100 range.
