Yeah, was thinking what the others have already said.........opening line with Surgeon 591 and then he says "budget" in the first sentence...........you must be in congress?

As everyone else has said, I think the word "budget" means something completely different to the OP than it does to the rest of us. Still, great looking build. (I really like the $270 budget bipod...)
 
You must be the owner of the house we just built. Started as a $50,000 remodel, we wound up tearing the whole friggin 1995 house down, and building a $1.2 million House. Owners words "What the F? It's only money right?" I'm in the wrong business, and all my Smithed 700 builds, feel ashamed now. Nice stick though, just not in my Budget.
