[QUOTE="hillbeast, post: 1600855, member: 67651"] I have only had a few full customs and a mess of semi customs. I have a 338 Ultra Max (Edge improved) with about 100 rounds through it for sale over on 24 hour campfire built by Kirby Allen. It has fired 3 shot groups under an inch at 500 yards. That rifle was built a couple years ago on an factory Vanguard action and it was just over $3000 with a McMillan A5 I'm selling it complete with a Night Force NXS, the custom dies and a pile of new components for $5500. Our local long range smith Straight Shooter Supply can deliver a basic full custom for right at $3000 based on a custom action. Just a quick look around I came up with the following numbers. Some are a little high and some a little low but it gives an idea. Action 950 Barrel 450 Trigger Tech Diamond 280 brake 250 Chambering 350 pillar bedding 250 nice steel bottom metal 250 stock allowance 600 Cerakote 250 Total is $3630. If I made it a single shot and waited on the Cerakote and used a cheaper trigger I can see $3000 being a very realistic number. Who is charging more than these numbers? Right now Straight Shooter Supply is building me a very deluxe long range 28 Nosler on a Defiance action with a 30" Bartlein in an adjustable McMillan A5 and it will be $3870 out the door. [/QUOTE]
