[QUOTE="AaronSkipDavidson, post: 393783, member: 6373"] I found the setup on this post to be interesting. I'm not sure that the premise is valid, in fact, its more of a plug for Greybull Precision. Regardless of what the main point was, I would like to put forth a little information. John makes a nice gun, and everytime I handle that Bell and Carlson stock, I think about how smart that idea was--the budget Mcmillan A series. Johns gun runs $6000 with a leupold VX3 LR, Remington Action and Bell and Carlson stock (add $800 for a custom action). The Gunwerks LR-1000 is $6500 with a custom action, stainless steel bottom metal (not factory Remington), Jewell trigger, and a very classy long range stock design that is built like a Mcmillan with molded in camo color and texture with the addition of a CNC machined bedding block, this includes all the break in, set up, and a Huskemaw Optics scope (we have Nightforce packages also). Lets look at the Mcmillan rifles. Base rifles are right at $5000. They outsource thier action. Basner rifles are $5500. They outsource thier action. A GAP Crusader with a Jewell trigger is about $4100. They outsource thier action. I'm not sure that you dont have to pay another 11% on the GAP (I tried to call and confirm, but got vmail). We can try to update if we get more info. One last point. We do offer a budget package. Basically the same deal as the Greybull Precision rifle, except we are buying HS Precision stocks at $265, instead of Bell and Carlson at $140. It is based on a Rem 700, and features the Huskemaw scope. The total package price is only $4000. Thats scope, breakin, set up--everything except we have you send in your Remington. So, if you buy a new SPS, add $550. So basically $4500 is your total cost for a complete shooting system. There is more to selling rifles than just screwing parts together, and our shop is more than just an assembly line. We do product design, both software and hardware. We dont use a $4000 dollar lathe, we use a $40,000 CNC lathe to ensure consistency and better surface finishes (imagine trying to thread on a manual machine at 1200 RPM!). Our stocks are inletted on our CNC mill, and finished in our shop. The bottom line is we have the capability to manufacture more parts in house, but we choose to use economies of scale and premier suppliers to get the best value and bang for the buck for our customers. We see many of those $500 rifles through our shop every year, and they are not the same thing as the products that are coming from any of the manufacturers I listed on this post. [/QUOTE]
