[QUOTE="hillbeast, post: 1614151, member: 67651"] I believe most of what you get when you go past $3000 to 4500-5000 for a custom or semi custom build is a bunch of blue sky with the builders name on it. Here is one Kirby built for me on an approximate $3000 budget. He could easily get the big money for his name alone but he has remained humble and delivers a solid value for your money. Here is just one example of what $3000 can get you. It is an awesome 338 Ultra Maxx (338 Edge Improved) built by Kirby at APS including a pile of components and a NF 5-22x56 NXS I have for sale over on 24 hr campfire $5000 total ready to shoot. If you sold the scope off it that puts the rifle, custom dies, a pile of components for about $3000. It's an ultimate long range hammer as most of Kirby Allen's rifles are. It is featured in the gallery on the APS website. [I]APS Xtreme Sporter, 338 Ultra Maxx, Weatherby Vanguard long action, Lilja fluted stainless steel #7 contour, 30" finish length, Painkiller muzzle brake, McMillan A-5 tactical stock.[/I] It based on a Kirby trued up Vanguard in a single shot configuration. My daughter was able to shoot 500 yard groups under 1". I'm just getting to old for this large of rifle. [IMG]http://www.apsrifles.com/images/23984988.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
