[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2802250, member: 103947"] All the prices on that list are much higher than the "Real"costs I've spent doing this multiple times. I'm not disagreeing with the OP as we live in different places AND I only have my gunsmith chamber and thread my barrels. I do the rest. The closest items on that list to the real prices are the barrels. 350-375.00 for steel barrels. 600-750.00 for carbon wrapped. My last 4-5 custom built rifles were in the ball park of 4000-5000 total with optics. Simple end result is, we all build what we can afford. For those spending 8500.00 on a custom built rifle by a company, great. Good for you and I'm sure the customer couldn't be happier. Personally, I'd be stressed out about spending 8500 on ONE rifle when I can build almost 3 for that price (minus optics). I tend to swap out optics on a few rifles because having 8-10 custom rifles, I can't use them all at one time. Much more economical buying 3-4 very good optics and moving them to different rifles.
