[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 920218, member: 69478"] What groups were you getting? Parts can be cheaper than that if you stick with a basic rifle like I prefer. You can get a Boyds laminate thumbhole which are pretty good stocks and they are very affordable. You already have the best action, besides maybe a custom, to start with. You could also get a trigger but those old Remington triggers can be made pretty smooth and soft. Boyds Thumbhole stock: $100 Hart/Shilen/Lilja/etc. barrel blank: $350 Scope Rings and mounts: $75-100 Devcon Bedding kit: $50 So you are around $600 and have a pretty good long range rifle, nothing super expensive but a very nice rifle. You also have to pay a smith to do all the barrel work, bed job, action truing, and the other odds and ends. Not sure what gunsmiths charge for all of this, we are fortunate enough that we can do all of our own work. You also need a scope and may want to get a bipod for it. [/QUOTE]
