[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1548997, member: 68875"] To be honest, building a $2000 semi-custom is doable. But you will have to go with certain compromises to get there. Here is a quick rundown: R700SA (free-you have one) New bolt- $100-500 (depending on what options you get like extractor, fluting, TI firing pin, alloy bolt shroud, knob, etc.) New barrel- $300-800 (depending on make and features like length, fluted steel, carbon wrapped) Recoil lug- $0-50 (I would go ahead and upgrade to a .250", but you can use your factory one to save a bit of $$) Stock- $100-1000+ (totally depends on what you want to achieve and spend, all preference based) Trigger- $80-350+ (a good trigger is nice for accuracy improvements. Your Rem trigger should be tunable to 2#+/-, aftermarket can go down to just a few ounces if you want) Other options like: muzzle brake, Cerakote, side bolt release, aftermarket bottom metal or DBM+mags, scope base/Picatinny rail, etc.- $??? Labor: true action/bolt/lugs, thread and chamber barrel, cut/crown barrel or cut and thread and install/time a brake, bed stock, Cerakote, etc. $800-2000 depending on how much you want done. I highly doubt you will be under $2000 with a Proof barrel installed with the raw barrel being 1/3+ of that goal alone. [/QUOTE]
