[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 446505, member: 9253"] How to go cheap? The OP did say build, but uou can buy a used rifle at a gun show cheaper than you can have even a small amount of work done by a qualifie smithe or buy tools to do the work yourself. I've bought clean 7mm Rem Mag 700 ADL's (plastic stock) at gunshows as low as $350. They'll handle the 180 Berger though the magazine and may stablize them depending on where you shoot. You can shoot with factory metallic sights or get a decent used scope for under $50. Don't get too hung up on the 180 Bergers. Out to 1000 yards the 168 Bergers will do as well or better than the 180's in most factory rifles. Some external barrel rust and dings in the stock can drop the price of a rifle way down without affecting how it shoots. [/QUOTE]
