[QUOTE="nathank, post: 1707843, member: 12703"] I never said mine was cheap, said the factory rifle is cheap for a lightweight rifle haha. But this build didnt cost me much i paid $1100 cdn and it came with an extra stock and bottom metal/mag, and bolt knob from a Model 10TR, i sold the stock and bottom metal for $200, then put the bolt knob on another rifle. So i paid $900 for a rifle, for me to get a carbon six barrel in canada would have cost me north of $1000. Then i put a titanium bolt handle with carbon fiber knob on it which cost me $100. I think $1000 for a 5.6LB near 1/4 MOA rifle with a carbon fiber barrel is pretty cheap. I did not gain anything weight wise, in fact i probably added an ounce with the barrel, but i can shoot strings of bullets and not worry about the barrel heating up and groups opening up and it looks bad *** lol. I also own a savage lightweight hunter in .308 and it shoots sub moa with factory hornady precision hunters. [/QUOTE]
