You could build one for $1700 , $1800 using some budget parts.
Or you could spend $3000, $4000 , using high end parts.
I’ve had both and the couple of differences I found were accuracy and weight.
$1800 got me 1 1/2 Moa at 9 lbs
$3200 got me Sub MOA at just under 8 lbs.
Maybe the best deal is fully assembled rifle?
If a factory configuration suits you then it will most likely be your best option. If you want to hand pick each part then building from receiver sets it’s the best option.
Also, if you don’t want to drop the money for a complete rifle a build is a good option as you can slowly acquire parts and look for deals. Lots of us enjoy the assembly process as well.
