[QUOTE="Lapua guy, post: 597080, member: 28489"] I don't fault them. I am a market based free marketer myself. Whatever the market will bear. The other gunsmith is tearing you a new one though, but if no one steps up to challenge, that is what you get. But he is taking a 350-450 dollar action, 100-250 for the trigger and safety, spending 5 hrs truing, bedding, and threading and chambering the barrel. Depending on barrel he is using, his cost is around 250-500 bucks, then a decent stock is 300-500 bucks, premium, up to 1000. So he is costing out at 1000 low end-2200 on the higher end. His time and machinery couldn't be more than 300 bucks, probably more like 150. So his margins are pretty high. Just FYI though on gunwerks, you should be able to build that Gunwerks gun for about a grand less, easy, with Lower 48 gunsmiths that is. But they aren't raping you or anything, but I bet they make their 25% and then some. Good for them. [/QUOTE]
