[QUOTE="holechit, post: 2474052, member: 122492"] Doing the math, assuming I buy AI mags and steel barrels for everything, I’m in for a 3 caliber setup for under $4k. If I buy the extra bolt faces and just the stuff necessary to build a 223 rifle, I could be in it for about $2k assuming a don’t get the AG or a manners stock. From there, depending on the mags and barrel I buy, I could be looking at 4-600 per extra caliber. I did start this thread under the pretense that I’m trying to keep things affordable, and while I’m still looking to keep things affordable, I went through the stash and have sold several rifles and optics. So My budget has increased a little bit, but I would like to stretch it out over time. Buy all the zermatt/bighorn parts now, build a 223 rifle, and then buy the new calibers as time goes by, spreading out the initial cost. Theoretically, I’m out of pocket $0 if I can sell these last two rifles. When I buy the x39 part of the kit, I might sell my x39 bolt gun. Big might. Which would cover an extra stock or an optic upgrade. [/QUOTE]
