[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1265873, member: 12995"] Yes, the smith situation is unique, but I was referring more towards the price of the components being very similar if you take the time to look around for a good deal or buy when you see it on sale, for your future build you're planning. I do use real barrels and stocks... Factory Sendero barrels that have had the chamber cleaned up to proper AI specs, polished chamber, and headspacing set to .002", bore-centric lathe-cut crowns, hand-lapped bores, and the threads cleaned up...I'd say that's as close to an aftermarket barrel as you can get for 1/3 of the cost. Still a real barrel though. Also, I use HS Precision stocks and properly skim-bed the actions with DevCon and float the barrels. So I'd definitely say those are real stocks. I wasn't including rings and rails...Those are included in the scope budget. But that nearly doubles the budget to $2000 for the total build. [/QUOTE]
