[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1490044, member: 12"] Take the time to gather your own parts and then build. If you watch the internet you can come close. Buy discounted parts someone is selling. I have built several in that price range. $2300 is almost impossible with custom action but $5000 is way out line too. You are either paying for name or stuff not needed on a hunting rifle. Too many people think they are snipers and have to have $300 bottom metal and six 20 rd magazines. Not needed for hunting. Action $1400 check with PTG for blueprinted 700. They have some normally. Barrel $325-450 if fluted Reamer $160 buy your own Brake $150 700 bottom metal -$70-150. Trigger- $150-225 (IMO $400 Bix and Andy is not needed on hunting rifle). Rifle basic or timney will work. Jewell at the top end. Stock- $200-700 (from Stockys , McMillian etc) 20 moa base $75-100 Gunsmithing should not be over $600-800 if you have all your parts. Chambering, bedding, crown and muzzle brake is all they are doing and some small parts. The 300 win mag set up to shoot the 215-230 bullets is the way to go. [/QUOTE]
