SC,
I think that's a very fair point. My solution described above would put more than $200, maybe a fair bit more, into the rifle for a pound of weight, all using second- or third-choice parts. Maybe I should save for a Stocky's second instead.
As someone who grew up using bottom of the barrel gear, I do have a hard time putting very much money into something I might fall down a mountain with. But. In this case it seems like maybe trying to cheap out will just result in me going in circles.
