[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1614763, member: 33159"] Let me put this in perspective. I purchased a Rem 700 SPS, chambered in 7 STW, four years ago. What I've spent on upgrades installation and a new barrel is a little under $3,500. An HS Precison stock, Wyatts box mag, Carbon Six (carbon wrapped) barrel with new lug, bedded action, PTG fluted bolt, chambered and installed by my smith. What started out as a "cheap" rifle that was fun to shoot, turned into me going "down the rabbit hole" of making the rifle better. Granted, I had a lot of fun doing this, I learned a lot, and I got to shoot out a barrel. But, in hindsight, I could have easily had a rifle built for me for around the same cost. Lesson learned. I don't regret what I did, just know that it isn't the most cost effective to go at it the way I did [/QUOTE]
