[QUOTE="archeratlrg, post: 2475034, member: 41248"] Though I could "afford" spending that kind of money on a custom rifle, o can't really justify it for myself. I went a different route. I picked up a small ring Kar98 Mauser or $99.00. Cut off the old bolt handle welded a new one on...$100....26" fast twist X-Caliber turned to my specs...$300...Timney deluxe trigger $100....$00.00 to stock as I had my own wood and $250....for a Leupold 4-14x40 I picked up new on ebay. Rifle shoots 1 hole groups with several different bullet weights and tops the scales loaded at 7.75lbs. Ya don't have to spend a ton of money to have a top shooting lightweight hunting rifle.
