1st let me say I do not shoot in competitions, or P-dogs at 1000 yards, or other things. I just shoot off of a bench with sandbags now, but just bought a Caldwell BR rest to start learning to shoot. I'm just a deer hunter that has a little extra money right now, and I like to shoot nice guns,at least nice guns better than the guy next to me who ever that happens to be on that day).
I am building a new rifle, my first custom gun all on my own. I want to make it cool looking, as well as being as accurate as I can,within reason). My reason... $4k total.
Here is where I am at. I bought the Remington 700 action, and selected my caliber,.260) and sent it to Krieger to have the barrel made and fluted, action trued, barrel fitted. So far we are at $1450. Since it takes 5 months to have the work done from Krieger, I have now started looking at my scope and stock.
I bought a used McMillan A-4 on eBay as I already have 2 other guns with McMillan stocks, so I thought that is what I wanted, but I am having 2nd thoughts. I am new here to these forums, but noticed a sponsor you have called Master Class Stocks. I went to their web site, and like their stuff, but wondered if I'm getting out of my price range as I still have to get trigger, scope, mounts and rings,that’s another $1500) and I still have not bought brass, bullets, powder, dies.... and we all know that’s going to run me another $500 or so.
Does anyone own a Master Class Stock? I like the fact that I can have the stock made and fitted by the same people. I have attached the style of stock I was thinking about getting. I welcome all feedback on this project as these are very important decisions I have to make for a $4k toy to play with.
