[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1570701, member: 38048"] I've built plenty of borden action hunting rifles with McMillan stocks and match barrels for under 3g. Before you spend a fortune figure out the cost of all your parts and how much a smith charges to do each part of the build. Even using the best parts you won't be much over 3k. A lot of places have a price for a custom. Big money. But do the math and ask your smith if he can do it for that price. Example. Borden action. 1400. McMillan stock. 550 match barrel 325 bottom metal 150 jewel trigger 225. Total 2650 in parts. Now 200 for chamber. 200 for pillar bed. 200 for finish on metal. 3250 for a complete custom rifle. Some places charge 5k for this. What was all the extra money for. Profit. Only 600 bucks of work there. Add 175 for a complete brake job. Sub any parts you want. Shep [/QUOTE]
