[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1402348, member: 99718"] You can probably double or triple the $ figure you quoted for the top of the line Bench rest competition rifles. But looking at them, some don't look like a rifle as most people picture a rifle looking like. Some are all metal, no wooden stocks, and have custom actions that appear twice the size or more than a heavy magnum action, and barrels that match. All parts are custom made, with the exception of the scope, some of them also have custom alterations done to them. Its actually hard to call them a rifle, they to me they appear to be more of a machine. The sky is basically the limit as far as the money you could sink into one of them. Definitely not for the average family mans budget. Your rifles sound great, and are down to earth and also look like a rifle should look. Just for kicks look up bench rest rifles and take a look at some of them, I think this site has some of the overboard guns pics on it, some of them are called BLOCK guns I think, that might also be a good place to take a look at some of the competition rifles that are being made. And yes I only own a handful of guns, but do have one for each occasion : 30-06, 300 Win. mag., two- 22 rifles, two 50 cal. muzzle loaders, 1 flint, 1 primer Ign., 12 ga. turkey gun, and a 357 Smith & Wesson, and a 22 nine shot pistol for trapping. Almost forgot, A very accurate 308 Norma magnum bench gun with a Leupold VX-3 scope. and a crossbow. I am 66 and worked in a factory all my life, the same one for 43 years, its a wonder I have that many guns. Good luck hunting and shooting in 2018. [/QUOTE]
