I think you spent lots. For my precision rig I bought a Stevens 200 (223) and equipped it with an Elite 4200 4x16. Now heres the clever part. To save money if anyone tries to tell me its not a precision rig I put my fingers in my ears and shout LA LA LA LA LA ALA. :D

savage model 25 in .223

not a 100 10X shooter and cannot chase those F-class open rigs even the pretty ones

but it does go bang and can get in the 96 - 98 with mid x count on windday at 300M and that means not many surviving gopher

the best part is with barrel life i might just be able to find someone to rebarrel the pinned barrel buy the time it is all shot out
 
The important part is to enjoy shooting and get the satisfaction of achieved results from handloading isn't it? If you don't have the budget you don't have the budget. A lot of people don't like the stevens but i bought one and I'm happy. it shoots sub moa and it even maintains accuracy when getting hot as I found out in a fun little match last saturday in selkirk. Hi to all that were there. But there were some very expensive guns there that did crap and there were some not so expensive guns that shot amazingly well ( might have something to do with the operator ;) )

your gun looks sweet and I'm a little jealous but I enjoy blasting a gopher at over 200 just as much as the guy with the expensive rig. Perhaps one day. Keep shooting and having fun....
 
I first started reloading years ago for my 30-30. I also loaded for my 30-06. Neither were "precision" rifles, in fact they didn't have scopes. I had a ball just getting out and shooting. I learned a ton about shooting and about ballistics simply by getting into reloading.

Getting out and shooting, and getting my ammo ready to go shooting were the highlights of my week. One does not need to spend a fortune to enjoy shooting - or relaoding.
