Rifle Breakdown?

Re: Rifle Breakdown?
Forgive me, but what do you mean by a corect build? If you mean a custom build, the price could vary a bit depending on the parts you choose for your build. Are you doing the machining or paying someone? If it is a custom build which involves machining and you are not a machinist, I suggest buy one already built, or order one from a pro that garrantees his work. Hope this helps. If you need more detail, I'd be happy to help in any way. Good luck

Re: Rifle Breakdown?
If I understand your question right you are wanting a breakdown of the cost of building a rifle vs buy one already built. Well to only way to get this cost comparison done correctly is to first spec out exactly what you want in a rifle. Then either go and call a smith and get a quote or start pricing out the components and add up the cost and labor. After that is done start looking around and see if anyone has what you want already built and price that. It is the only way that you will be able to get a price comparison on YOUR rifle. You have to understand that there is no one correct build and the whole point of a custom rifle is to get a rifle built the way you want it.

Re: Rifle Breakdown?
I guess my question was a little vague. I mean using a period correct model 700, and stock if available. with maybe a redfield accurange scope and such. Something that would be "period" correct for mid 60's early 70's sniper rifle. I have had several custom rifles built (for hunting), but nothing on a military platform, like a rifle as described above. My long range rifle is built on a Sako V action, in 7mm Rem Ultra Mag. It is very accurate as is a Bryant built 22-250AI I use for groundhogs. I just think it would be interesting to shoot and compare such a rifle to today's equipment. I'm sure it would give you a better appreciation for the skill that was involved then vs today's technology. As funny as it sounds, I have a vintage 24X Unertl 2" Target Model on my "groundhog gun", and would have a hard time finding a better piece of glass. I own a few Swarovski, and mostly Leupold, but that old Unertl, is a peach. Very repeatable, clear, and the demise of many a groundhog. I guess the project would be more of a conversation piece and perhaps an occasional deer rifle more than anything else. But if the cost is extreme, I'd rather sink the funds into hunting rifles.

got to Texas Brigade Armory website and sniff around on the pricing on the various bolt guns, this should give you a general idea as to how much loot it's going to take
