[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 60599, member: 1522"] [ QUOTE ] the best light weight hunting rifle out there is the "sheephunter" from Mark Banzer.( I think ) a guy from the Allentown PA area.... but he is WAY over priced!!! [/ QUOTE ] It's not that Mark is a little or over priced, he's ridicules in his pricing. $4995.00 for a custom rifle built on a Remington 700 action is way over priced. $8495.00 if you want a Nieska Bay Action. All of his components are off the shelf, such as actions, barrels, triggers and his own stock. Sorry, but for $1500 to $1750 there are a lot of extremely good gunsmiths that can build the same exact rifle as Mark. Actually they could build you three complete rifles for less than the price of his. It's not like he's guaranteeing .1 accuracy. His guns come with a sub MOA guarantee. I called his shop about a year ago and asked what the price was to true a Remington action. Well $1400.00 to true a Remington action is waaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced in my book. And that's not installing a barrel, just truing the action. Exactly what to you do to a Remington 700 action for $1400K. Most smiths charge a less than $200.00 to do the entire job. But $1400.00 dollars, here’s your sign. Just my $0.02 worth! [/QUOTE]
