Any of our dealers willing to put together something similar for us Precision Rifle newbies?

I seen those as well. Mel does some damn good work on everything he touches. If someone could assemble something like that with the Howa actions/barrels or a SPS Varmint they'd probably make some cash off of just assembling rifles...
 
Perhaps Mystic or Rick need to hire some minimum wage teenage punks to assemble us some poor-mans Tacti-cool rifles. An SPS Varmint/Savage 10FV .308 in a HS or B&C vert. grip tac. stock topped with a pic rail, Badg Ord rings, and a Bushnell 10X/Falcon would be wicked. Perhaps even some how adding "sniper fill" to the stocks for some extra weight?:confused:
 
Haha, there yah go eh. But I wonder what it would cost ATRS or someone to go to the trouble to assemble these vs. doing it yourself? I suppose Rick and those guys have im/export permits so aquiring parts would be MUCH easier for them to do. I wonder what they could do as far as accurizing (ie; can the action be trued and sleeved while the barrels still attached, tuning the factory triggers, re-crowning the barrels etc.

i think if you go into too much accurizing the price will jump exponentially
Better to have the basic "package" and then a list of "add-ons" with a price beside them
 
Labour is labour

Thats the truth.....BUT if a smith put together a bunch of these there has got to be a cost saving over just building one up individually

How do you figure that? maybe if he puts 1000 of them together, then he's out a wack of cash hoping someone will buy these? FS
 
ok....Rem700 HB barreled action, good stock, rings and base, scope.....you still hope that the price is gonna be less than 1K????????
500 for the barreled action, 300 for stock, 100 for rings and base and 400 for scope.....so, 1300......and it`s minimum, with no bedding, truing and any other custom job......

exactly.
pointless thread, want a cheap build? do it yourself.

Obviously the pricing in the US is much better and easier to setup deals like this compared to us here.

Think of it...you can purchase a B&C Tactical stock from a business on here for 380.00, how cheaper do you think you can get it if you order 10-20 of them??

Most of the rings/bases up here are fairly expensive. Burris XTR rings are being sold for 70-80 bucks and then factor in the rail, bipod, scope and of course the rifle. Then if you want the gunsmith to 'modify/install' the parts for you.

/thread
 
Did anyone read what the OP said? He knows it cant be done for 1000$ And by the way the Falcon scope is an extra $ option the 1000$ mark is with a 10X Bushnell 3200. Rifleaccuracy. com sells the B&C A2 style stocks for 204$ usd and they export to Canada no probs, theres even a couple guys on here who bought them there.

SPS Varmint .308- 600$
B&C A2- 300$
Pic Rail- 150
Mark 4 rings- 150
Bushnell 3200 10X- 250$

Total (for me to buy)- 1450$

Your telling me that a shop cant put one together for less and make some money off it and do a half ass trigger job/muzzle crown?

By the way it was a suggestion you dont gotta be an as$hole about it...
 
I think for $2000+ you can build a really nice rifle. now thats minus optics. And thats high end stuff. $1350 also very realistic, depending on what you want. I mean things are changing it would have been cheaper to build last summer when the dollar was at par.
Look at the 1911 pistol. Some of these custom jobs are Insane in price. But the gunsmith puts his time into it. I guess the same goes for the rifles. Pending on how you do it.

SPS Varmint .308- $799
H-S precision $550
Pic Rail- $150
Mark 4 rings- $150
Bottom metal V bull $600 ish I think thats what it end up as.
Barrel Job with new barrel $600 optional if you want a new pipe from the start.
Bed the gun $150 or $15.00 if you do it yourself. I did not factor this in the cost.

All this for $2849 minus optics. high end.
$2249 without new barrel
$1649 without mag conversion
Throw in a mcmillan stock and the price jumps even higher.
Or get a cheaper stock and the price gets lower.
 
I think if there is demand there will always be supply :D

from what I've seen here the best person to know about cheaper but damn great rifles is Jerry

So if you guys are counting then take it as:
Stevens 200 action - $200 (after parts sell-off)
B&C stock - $200-300
trigger - $100
bedding - 1lbs of Devcon $45 Steel or Alum
rings - bases - $100
Barrel - $300 +

TOTAL - $1000 or so

there it is - your precise rifle :wave:

ps. looks like my project
 
This isn't a "precision rifle" to begin with. It is a factory rifle - that like all factory rifles is designed to look better than it actually is, with factory heavy barrel,a gross pink stock and a scope.

It doesn't mean it won't shoot, but I guarantee you will have just as big a chance of getting accurate (or not) results buying ANY factory gun. In other words, you can buy one of those cheap hunting-rifle/benchrest Stevens 200 rifles and throw any chunk of glass on it and viola, you have a rifle that will shoot just as well....guaranteed.

My point is NOT to dis anyone with a factory gun, quite the opposite. My point is, this "tacticool" package has absolutely nothing "precision" about it over and above any other gun! Don't worry about what the thing looks like or is marketed towards. an SPS varmint would be every bit as good for about the same money.
