[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2803433, member: 1951"] I must be a cheapo, although I like your 2 barrels up front idea! My stocks are normally under $700 bedded, but I agree up to $1200 is somewhat normal with pillar bedding. My current front rests are all under $200. I can see the value in a $500 tripod. I bought a Zermatt for $900. Im sure there are more expensive actions, but I’m not sure how much better they are. My SS blanks have all been under $400 for the top names. I cannot name a $400 trigger without guessing, but Jewell and Triggertech at $250 ish seem fine. I did buy an EC Tuner Brake for $200+, but my normal brakes are around $125. I’ve looked through $3000-$4000 glass. I’m still not sold. My Tract did well against a Nightforce ATACR to my eye, but obviously some are not happy without a ZCO. I find top gunsmiths vary widely in chambering. I’m willing to pay up to $400, if I’m confident the chamber will be straight. I think I paid $300ish for 300 Sherman dies, but I’m only out like $100-250 when it is a more common round. Taxes, shipping, etc add up. I struggle with the idea that a great custom rifle cannot be had under $5000. That’s just me….cheap Charlie….no offense to Charlie. What do I get paying so much more for similar parts? [/QUOTE]
