any rem 700 type rig for 3K + should be near perfection.
Echols & Penrod use Mcmilln stocks without the bolt cut so it can be cut to match the bolt handle perfectly,.. thats part of what custom means to me,.. attention to detail all through the rifle> from internal&external integrity, to simple refined aesthetics/cosmetics that dont require great mastermind effort,..
when building a custom, its not too much to expect.
A rem700 type custom with factory BDL b/metal and an obvious & unsightly missaligned excessive gap around the bolt handle all for $5.4k ...yeh right...
..
Some offer more TLC&D...and superior b/metal for less money ($4.3k):
