[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1013644, member: 12995"] Seems very steep on the action, and a little steep on the barrel and labor, especially not to include bedding the action. JMO. I mean, I'm sure that's nothing compared to what the big name smiths get for their guns that cost $4,500+, but still seems high to me. I certainly can't afford something like that...And can't forsee being able to in the future. LOL You can go buy a Rem 700 Long Range in whatever caliber you want ($699-$799), then have it trued, and a new barrel installed ($315-350 for the blank), and get the action bedded for less than $1,500. There's $500 towards your scope, rings, and base, compared to the $2,000 rifle the smith quoted you. And it will be just as good as his rifle. [/QUOTE]
