mike82 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Just out of interest how would it normally cost for a .223 hunting (varmint) rifle if custom built typically/estimate? Looking into a new .223 however I haven't seen anything that is jumping out - wondering whether it would be the way to go or whether it would be to expensive!

Big Al Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 If by 'custom' you include a custom made 'non factory' action, match quality barrel, premium stock, full bedding and maybe a mag conversion and some cerakote then you will be looking in the £3000-£5000 or more depending on final spec. Custom actions are great if you have the money but a good quality factory action from the likes of Tikka or Sako and even Remington or Howa will make a very accurate rifle more than capable of very small groups for between £1750 and £2750, again dependent on final spec. Ive posted these as ball park figures to answer your question, if you require any further information then best send me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhhudson Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 You can spend as much or little as you like, depends exactly what you want? A typical figure would be around £2500??? But probably more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, non factory action. Wooden stock, no cerakote just SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
