[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 554671, member: 2736"] With everything furnished The work should be less than $1000.00 but if the smith has to furnish a special reamer and head space gauge that can drive the price up. Also if there is any stock work required before pillar bedding. On a completely furnished parts rifle the normal amount of time to do a finished rifle is 15 to 25 hours You bought expensive parts (That's Good) But you have to look at the work to assemble them. Factory rifles have neither the best parts, or the precision assembly required to consistently build an accurate rifle. If you had a big name company build your rifle and required all of the same parts, you could add 40% to those parts and 30 to 40% to the build for the name. All of this would bring the cost to somewhere between $6,000 and $8,000.00 dollars. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
