[QUOTE="7.62 Gunner, post: 2473580, member: 121641"] This is good insight for guys jumping into custom builds. There are some really good alternatives to your build that would have kept things around $4000 scoped. I've never spent more than 3k on a full custom rifle, but I do my own bedding etc. Honestly though unless I'm building a LA the Tikka semi custom route is unbeatable. I have two that come in under 6 lbs with CF stocks and prefit SS barrels. I just finished a Tikka 7-300 wsm improved and here's my cost break down. Used ss action $400 1lb trigger spring $10 Mountain tactical wsm magazine (Blemished) $35 MPI tactical hunter ultralight stock 20 oz $750 18" McGowen ss prefit barrel flared to .730 and threaded 5/8×24 $400 $1600 dollars for a 5.6 lb rifle that shoots in the .4s There are great LR optics out there in the $1000 dollar range like the LRHS2 or Trijicon Tenmile/Credo [/QUOTE]
