Here are the "twins". 22-250 and 243 AI single shots. How cheap ? Less in them both than the 1/2 price Zeiss on the 243AI.

Both stocks were $90, both bbls $280, all bottom metal $270, 2 new triggers $340, (all Ebay), 2 new actions $1000.

Mounts and rings $220, Athlon 2.5-15 promo special $250. Zeiss V8 "used" from Amazon $1650.

Guessing could build a single shot 300 PRC for <$1500.
 
My 6.5 build with all the tools to do it all said and done minus the scope was about 1300 bucks. Used a criterion barrel, hs precision stock in a model 12 savage action. My first scope on it was a used vortex ps-t gen 1 that I bought used off a member for 550 bucks.

Ive since then added a muzzle brake, upgraded the stock to a mdt xrs chassis, and upgraded the optic to a vortex ps-t gen 2 5-25x50.

Good thing about building your own is you can kinda upgrade as you go. Next build for me is to build my 7mm mag into a light weight hunting rig with a fast twist and long throat.
