Most of the well known gunsmiths these days are getting 3K and up for rifles built on a 700 action. Seems like as soon as they get a couple of "write-up's" in any of the popular rags, their prices jump considerably. Take a look at the Sisk website and you will see what I'm talking about. Not knocking Charlie, but 5K plus seems a little high for a rifle built around a 700 action. At least some of the other well knowns (Borden, Bansner etc.) are using custom actions on their 4-5K hunting rifles.
