[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1055322, member: 2736"] Fortunately, I don't do this for a living (Retired) but I can only imagine what full time Gun Smiths Must see. I have trouble understanding why someone will spend thousands of dollars on a action, stock, barrel and trigger. and then scrimp on accessories like muzzle brakes, scope bases and rings, scopes and there installation. You don't have to spend a fortune to get a custom rifle that will out shoot anything you ever had. Try to spend time with your smith talking about your budget and let him make recommendations on how to stay within your budget and still end up with a great look and performing rifle. If you don't have time/money to do a job right the first time, You wont have time/money to fix it. There are many ways to save money without sacrificing quality. The components that I feel are the most important are the action, barrel and a muzzle brake (If Used) because the bullet is directly effected by there quality and installation. Other parts are important but can range from $100.00 to $1000.00 with little change in performance. Example= you can spend $600.00+ dollars on a stock or buy a $200.00 stock that will perform just as good. $400.00 dollars would go a long way towards other things that are more important if your budget is limited. Just some advice from an old guy that hates to see poor work and decisions. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
