This will be getting mated to a custom action and chambered for 300 WSM. I can always get another PRS-quality barrel down the road if this one isn't up to par. It's going on a hunting rifle and I handload everything I shoot. I don't really need to be shooting in the .2s and .3s with this rifle. It'd be wonderful if a $200 barrel was on that level, but know that's an unreasonable expectation.
JK16, you do raise a good point about the barrel being the cheapest part of the equation in regards to everything else I'm considering...
- $850 Custom Action
- $350 Stock Blank
- $100 Trigger
- $100 Bottom Metal
- $50 Mag Box
- $300 Gunsmithing Cost
Maybe I'll just spend the extra $100 and pick up a Bartlein since I know they're going to give good groups. My best shooting rifle of all time had a Bartlein and posted my best group of all time
Now you got me rethinking this purchase after writing all the numbers up there. D
