I have about $3500 in my Grendel, excluding glass. The new build will be pretty close to that excluding glass as well. Got a 31" barrel coming from Obermeyer. That is going to be right at $500 not including threading, chamber work and crown. Action is a Stiller Tac338 with 20 moa base and Timney trigger. Cost is right at $1000. Still looking at stocks but will definitely be going with a chassis system. XLR, Mcree and AI are all about $1000 +/- a few bucks. Looking real hard at the AI 2.0 and the Mcree as I want to get away from the AR look. Currently waiting on a reply to verify if the Tac338 action will fit the AI chassis since it is just a touch bigger than a factory Remmington. That will more than likely make my case for which chassis I purchase.
Start adding the other little items like bi-pod, muzzle break, rings, machine work and getting the color where I want it, I figure it should come in close to that $3500 mark again if not a touch more. The glass is what is going to push it over the top. Looking at a USO SN-3 5x25 TPAL with all the trimmings. Best guess that is going to set me back another $3500+
Lucky for me I don't have a woman to answer to for my spending habits. This is my third build in less than a year. Just finished up my Grendel this past January and told myself I was going to take a break....... wrong. Got in on the Stiller group buy and it went down hill fast. lol.......
