[QUOTE="Lahunter76, post: 1589023, member: 108658"] in my very novice world and experience... I am doing this on school teacher(me) and LPN Nurse (wife) and a small child. so I think i would be in the world of budget build. I first bought a rifle at a pawn shop, I and my father loves browsing threw them looking for a diamond in the ruff so to speak. my rifle is a 300 weatherby Mark V delux (wood stock) cost was $875 with Leupold Rings/Mounts. I have since set to a gun smith for a muzzle break, new trigger, and cerakote ($400) I have then purchased a Leupold VX5HD 3-15x56mm with 30mm tube (75moa adjustment, which should give me aprox 35-32 up adjustment). scope cost $1300 after taxes so atm I have Phase 1 (doing Now) Gun: $875 Gunsmith work: $400 Scope: $1300 Running Total 1: $2575 atm invested Phase 2 work: (doing this summer) Aluminum Pillar/glass bed action:$250-300(guessing) I know the pillars will be 150 installed. Running Total 2:$2825-$2875 Phase 3 (by next year this time or summer) Hart Barrel: $510(for the one i want) GunSmith work to barrel: $150 True Up action: ? not 100% sure atm of cost Running Total 3: $3435-$3485 this will put me at $3435-$3485 investment and doesn't include -Action Turing -bi-pod -stock work that i will be doing myself (striping, Refinishing) None of this is what I would Call High End, and I figure I will be easy over $4k but this is how I am doing it to space out cost so its not all up front. As soon as i get it back and scope on it I will post some pics LOL, so i will have some before and after shots of the stock. SO IMO this is a budget of getting into this sport/hobby, now with all this being said, I will mostly be hunting with this rig and doing some LR comps that are locally, just some ole pumpkin pullers.
