Cheap rifle components but high end optics? When you say cheap you do know that stocks are $350 and up, barrels are $350 and up, especially if you are looking at a 28" barrel. I just bought a 28" Shilen, recoil lug and stainless nut, right at $400 shipped. New stock I'm waiting on, $325 plus my time and labor to finish it and it will be a $500 stock, then I have to add the cost of the paint I want. If you don't have a donor rifle for the action then buying an action will run you $400-600. Add in good optics at $1000-1500 or more and you're well beyond $2000 in a hurry. I haven't found anything cheap about building a rifle and this is my first build as well.
