[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 934528, member: 35183"] I think you misunderstand. My 8x57 build for example: $286 Savage model 110 in 270 Win. $340 Shilen select match 8x57 barrel, varmint contour. $60 NSS nut and recoil lug. $30 Go gauge Total build = $715. Less that what I had in my factory Remington 8x57 Classic that could not group better than 3MOA (5 in factory form). That was before I added a $100 Shilen trigger and a $190 Boyds stock and then it was a 3MOA gun. So the Rem was at $750+$190+$100 = $1040. Now at that point to spend $350 on a blank and potentially $500+ to get said barrel fitted I would have been at $1890. I traded it for a semi custom Savage 308 that already had a Shilen barrel fitted. Getting rid of the Remington saved me a lot of money and I got an excellent shooting Savage without any monkey business. [/QUOTE]
