[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 1043773, member: 59541"] Hi Rogmay and welcome to the forums. I haven't been long range shooting long myself but I've been trolling posts here for years. First thing I would say to you is if you are not familiar with gunsmithing, don't try to build a rifle yourself. You could seriously injure yourself or others if it's not put together properly. Using your Tikka action, you could spend anywhere from 1000 to 2000 dollars depending on stock and barrel you choose. I'm not familiar with Tikkas so I can't really talk about them. When you get into having a custom rifle built from scratch, I would say you are looking at $3000 for a starting point and the sky's the limit after that. I had a 6.5x284 built for me last year which wears a Nightforce NXS scope and it was $6000 when it was finished. I'm having a rifle built in 28 Nosler this year and it's going to be about $7500 with a Nightforce scope on it. Just saying this because I think your price point of $2000 is a bit low. Good luck whichever way you go and keep us updated. [/QUOTE]
