SO $1200.00 for a bare untouched unchecked rifle is a fair price, which by the way is EXACTLY what we sell 1 for.
Add $125.00 for the optional bolt knob, add $150.00 for proper bedding which WILL reduce group sizes significantly and then add a high quality scope rail for $175.00 and then add $40.00 for having the trigger tuned. This all adds up to a GREATLY enhanced rifle for $1675.00 and unless the plan is to use duct tape to intall you scope, you don't care about getting the best accuracy, like the factory 8lb trigger are all things most guys have to do to the rifle in order to shoot it.
Also unlike almost every gun shop in Canada, we DO carefully examine each factory rifle for flaws such as bad crowns, rough chambers, missing rifling etc which is a fair bit more involved than simply checking to see if the stock is not "bust in half" as you suggest. We use a good number of 700 actions for builds we do in the course of the year so can easliy relogate a rifle to parts use only if it has some flaw or issue that we would prefer our clients not to have to worry about.
We DO test fire EVERY rifle sell, so if you are going to make statements about what we do please confine them to what you ACTUALLY know rather posting mis-information.
We DO offer "enhanced or upgraded" rifles for sale, something very few shops do, but we DO charge for the upgrades as they ARE options that we get requests for daily and that many folks want. If you want a bone stock unchecked over rifle thas fine too, if the costs associated with the upgrades are beyond you means thats fine too, but don't slag on us becasue of it.
