[QUOTE="Broz, post: 628382, member: 7503"] You are at $1980 and squeeking a bit.:D Here is what you sated in case you forgot. "Knowing what a Stiller action; Jewell trigger and Brux barrel costs...and what I can buy a Stocky's stock for...install pillars and bedding myself...then WITHOUT a scope and mounts you SHOULD be able to get one built up to your specs [B]for les than $2000[I]....by far[/I][/B]! " So $20 is "by far" less than $2000. Plus we both forgot bottom metal, (Rem BDL $75 average used price) and this thread was about a 338 Lapua (see title) , would you build a 338 LM with no brake? No , so that $225 is back in.... and the 338 Stiller action is $1050 oops another hundie. Since $20 is "by far" less, then we better add another $20 for bedding compound. What about shipping that barrel , action and stock? ($30) Gas to the smith? mine is a 300 mile round trip so there s a tank of fuel ($65) Action screws? Pillars? Etc. The point BignGreen was making is, even if you are "so tight you save the grease off you farts to fry your eggs" you ain't likely to build a custom actioned 338 LM for under $2000 and he is spot on correct. With love:D Jeff [/QUOTE]
