[QUOTE="Hoss50, post: 1838932, member: 109801"] I am diving into my first customish build now. I am on a budget like you and want to get a good value for my dollar. I have a weatherby vanguard in 257 weatherby with a shot out barrel, so I am using that action. It already has a timney trigger. I recently ordered a Bell and Carlson stock stock for the rifle and a new barrel from Oregon Mountain rifles. It is a pre-fit carbon wrapped barrel Chambered in 257 weatherby. It is also pre-threaded for a brake. The barrel was about $700 which is less then a proof blank. The barrel is 26" 1:8 twist. I already have a scope, seekins rings, and EGW base for it. I am hoping to be all in under $1800 on the rebuild. I am $1000 dollars in now on stock and barrel, and hope to keep it under $800 at the Smith to get it all assembled, braked, cerakoted, etc. [/QUOTE]
