[QUOTE="bookworm, post: 572668, member: 13840"] Hi Guys - thanks for the replies and Happy Thanksgiving to you. I did try to cruise the Sponsor's prices but I'm having problem with some broken links on the Sponsor page. Not sure if that is a me problem or if it's a broader issue. Given the link problem I've not been able to do a thorough evaluation of Sponsor pricing...but did find a couple. Cowboy, thanks for the information...looks like your pricing is very competitive and consistent with what I find on the Krieger site. By the looks of your home page you are staying quite busy - that's a great place to be these days. I think where I probably went wrong in my original message is comparing the combination of these individual services (roughly $2000) to the prices of finished rifles (roughly $2500 - $3000)...often times with accuracy guarantees. My guess is that the additional cost goes into the smith taking the time necessary to ensure the accuracy, loads, shooting, etc. In both cases you end up with a finished rifle but I suppose the performance may or may not be the same. I'm probably missing some additional nuances that go into the guaranteed finished rifle versus the individual services to assemble a rifle...this is where I still have some learning to do. Any insights you can provide on this would greatly help with my learning process. [/QUOTE]
