The one I had done last year was close to 700 for labor don't remember exactly. This was not a bench rest but a light weight hunting rifle. The work performed included
Barrel profile, chamber, cut, crown, flute and bead blast finish
Action lap lugs, square the action, install barrel
Stock open the barrel channel pillar and bed
A little magazine work for proper feeding
That was for a little CZ 527 in 7.62X39 converted to a 6.5 Grendel with a 22 inch Obermeyer barrel with 1:8.4 twist. The barrel started as a straight tube and the end result is a beautifully balanced hunting rifle with a 22 inch barrel that shoots half MOA or better, when it gets over that I would bet it is me and not the rifle. The Smith that did the work in the past has done lots of work on CheyTac rifles and was a machinist/gunsmith for Stiller for 7 years before going into business full time. http://www.liveoakaccuracy.com/about.html
For a rifle of that weight and a pretty slow lock time, using factory wood stock and factory trigger I think he did a fantastic job.
