lancetkenyon Report post Posted November 4, 2015 I just built a .300RUM, had it put together by Phoenix Custom Rifles. I used a Rem 700 BDL LA from a rifle I already had. I had won a certificate for a free barrel by Rock Creek. So add about $350-700 to my price for that. Donor action-$0 (I bought the rifle new in 1999 for $650 and used it for 16 years) Barrel-$0 (normal cost would have been around $700 for what I ordered) Trigger-$100 (I had the stock Rem trigger worked to 3# back in 1999, I would go with a Timney Calvin Elite if I were to do it again) New HS Precision stock-$360 on sale PCR to true action, chamber and install barrel, supply & install Badger Thruster brake, perform minor stock work-$900 Badger 20MOA Picatinny rail-$140 Scope & rings-$0 (swapped from another rifle for now) Paint for action/stock-$80 in materials, a few hours so far in labor. I am in it for about $2150 right now. Add the barrel cost puts me around $2500-2850, and a scope/rings would add another $1600-3100 depending on how much I wanted to spend. The rifle, as it sits right now, just shot a .137" 3 round group with absolutely no load development. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roninflag Report post Posted November 4, 2015 I would leave the .270 alone. get a sendero or a rem 700 long range. the long range is heavier than a sendero . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roninflag Report post Posted November 4, 2015 if you check at brunos the barrels are around 359. then you to install is 150-175. a shilen trigger ( 100 -120) is my favorite but they are hard to install. timey are I believe a 120 and jewell are 220. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
