[QUOTE="CTK, post: 1891336, member: 103842"] You can have a heck of a custom rifle built by a good gunsmith for less money than most spend. Dialing down the parts saves a lot of money. 800.00 round Remington footprint custom action, 350.00 non- fluted/threaded/cerakoted barrel, 100.00 bottom metal, 125.00 trigger, 350.00 production stock. 750.00 for good gunsmith to chamber, bed, crown, and put together. $2575.00 So basically the price of a Cooper but you picked the twist, contour, brand, length, and throat length of the barrel. You picked the style and color of the stock. I am not saying that this example will necessarily outshoot a Cooper or other 2500.00 semi factory guns But with a good and reasonably priced gunsmith you will have a hell of a rifle almost exactly how you want it. Also not saying that this is an inexpensive rifle. Just a lot cheaper than some of the named ”turnkey” builders. To me, load development is part of the fun of a new rifle. Below is an example of a ”turnkey” build that has the advantage of being available right now. I am guessing that it is an impressively well built rifle. It is just more expensive than I would want to pay.
