[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 277744, member: 4191"] The costs quoted in your second post back are on the low side - my opinion. Plus you left out the costs of bedding the barreled action to a stock. And a muzzle brake would be nice on a 338 RUM, which could be an additional cost either approach. I understand your point, but I'd caution the guy to confirm your cost estimates for the semi-custom or custom build - parts and labor. You can't hardly send a factory rifle to a smith for truing, bedding, and trigger work and be done without exceeding $1075, let alone buy the individual components and have them turned into a rifle. And if that kind of money up front is out of the question, the option is off the table. After that, the advice given by the others becomes the default, best available option. A fellow shops long and hard enough and he might be able to find a used rifle that fits the bill and purpose at a reduced cost - my best 0.02 cents. If the factory rifle ends up being a shooter, leave well enough alone. [/QUOTE]
