TRG is just a factory rifle with a factory barrel.
700P Rifle $1500
New CM 338 1:10 twist Kreiger barrel $420
Smithing (Lap and true up action, chamber & thread) $350
Custom Brake: $250
Bedding $50-150
Robertson Stock complete $650
Sell the factory barrel $200
Sell the factory stock ?-150?
I dunno, that works out to around 3 grand. The cheapest 338 TRG 42 sells for $3300 and that is just a stock factory rifle.
The issue is, why spend 1500 for the rifle when you can buy a custom action for under a grand if you're going to customize, but the fact remains, if you buy one of these guns, you have many incremental steps you can take to turn a factory gun into an amazing custom gun for less money than a TRG 42
