[QUOTE="USAF Marksman, post: 1151677, member: 69087"] I'll be building my first semi-custom/custom rig when I get back from my deployment next summer. It will either be a 6x47L or 243AI. I've got a Rem 700 CDL in 243 right now that I've been thinking will be my donor rifle. I've been reading around and see that a Stiller Predator will be about equivalent in price once the 700 has been trued up. I'm currently set on a pac nor barrel, and their website has a price list hat shows $300 for fitting/chambering/ lapping/ and trueing of the action. Plus the $450 for the blank and flutting. That puts me at $750ish for my barreled action. Assuming the same price for the barrel, and if I could get $500 out of my CDL(which would essentially pay for the barrel, what's a Stiller Predator gonna run me, and the cost to have that barrel fitted to the action? Since the Predator shouldn't need to be trued, I could just have a smith fit the barrel. How much would that run? If running the full custom route is only going to be a few hundred dollars more, I don't see the point in not going that route. If I'm way off in my thinking/pricing here ( which wouldn't be a surprise) then I'll just use my action as a donor and have the work done. I'll have to figure a trigger into the Stiller as well, but that's ok, because I'd probably replace the X Mark on my CDL anyways. Any input will be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
