[QUOTE="bearpaw, post: 562870, member: 36420"] the salesman sounds like the typical uneducated long range guru that thinks 6-700 yards and a bdc dial is the end all be all of long range hunting. Cost wise, I just had an edge built off of a 300rum action that I already had. Labor and parts without glass came to about 2K. thats everything but the action, including rebuilding the action and truing it. rail, barrel, rings, stock, trigger, bedding, the whole ball of wax pretty much. Load development was mine to deal with, had the glass already, added level, cosine, pod lock, cheek piece, powder, 250 bullets, 200 rnds new brass, dies, everything else i needed to load a new cal., balisitc programs, kestrel, virtually everything, and I'm thinkin I'm at about 3-3500K, definately not over 3500. If you shop around the net for your own parts you can find some pretty good deals on quality stuff. Do yourself a favor and go to Shawn Carlocks Defensive Edge site and order his long range instructional vid, watch some clips on youtube from defensive edge and you'll start getting a pretty good idea of how its done right. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
