[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1481040, member: 30592"] No, I don't spend $2000 for Gunsmith costs on a rifle. I currently have 4 rifles in progress. I send the action and barrel to a Gunsmith and have the chambering and threading done. My average Gunsmith cost per rifle will be about $600. That includes chambering, threading, reaming a seater die, and shipping for the round trip. If I were using a Remington 700 action, I could easily spend another $400 for action work. I will do my own assembly. The parts being assembled are a long way from being ready to screw together. Every piece, and I mean every piece will likely need some massaging during assembly. [/QUOTE]
