Honestly, I never meant to start a Peter Measuring Match. I'm a guy who works a honest job to put beans on the table and buy "factory loaded ammo" to hunt with. I like to make sure I'm getting quality goods if and when I spend money on a project to make one of my rifles better. That's the reason I started this thread.
Fact is, my whole RIFLE didn't cost but just over $400 bucks so spending more on bottom metal than the entire rifle cost me seemed a bit "out of round" if you will...
