[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 2803643, member: 113501"] I like nice things but I'm cheap. I wanted something like a 338 Lapua Magnum but the action I had in mind was limited to a standard Magnum bolt face and CIP length magazine. The action was an American Rifle Company Archimedes long action, bought on a pre-order for $1,120 (instead of the regular price of $1,400). The chassis is an American Rifle Company Xylo, bought on a pre-order for $800 (instead of the regular price of $1,000). The barrel is a Lothar Walther prefit in .338 Remington Ultra Magnum for around $700. The brake is an Area419 Sidewinder for around $200. The trigger is a Triggertech Diamond for around $240 (on sale). Two CIP length magazines were around $150. The scope rings are cheap Vortex but reamed in place so they make a zero stress mounting for my scope for around $30 (on sale). My scope is a placeholder because I spent all my budget on the rifle. I did add a case with a custom Kaizen foam interior for around $160. I have a Skye pod that was around $500 and a bag rider that was around $60. I think that adds up to around $4,000 for everything minus scope. I spent a few hundred more on some Norma brass, dies and some 338 specific reloading tools. If I went top tier and spent $3,500 on a scope, I'm in the $7,500-8,000 range total. I customized a Savage Axis II XP for around $2,000 including glass. It's nice but American Rifle Company stuff is nicer. [/QUOTE]
