[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1142309, member: 4809"] You mention a custom build while keeping expenses to a minimum. Barrel weight is easily controlled by length and contour, but beyond that most good barrel makers run about the same. Cost of smithing seems to be about the same regardless where you go. In my experience, the single item that seems somewhat within your control is the stock. You can pick up a used Sendero HS stock for around $250, or simply go with a laminated wood stock. They are not as lightweight, but certainly less expensive than a Manners or McMillan. Glass is the only other area where you can really save, but you get what you pay for. [/QUOTE]
