The metal magazine bottom cap is around $19.00. So the total is around $121 dollars plus shipping for the metal trigger guard, DBM frame assembly (surround) and bottom cap. I don't believe any of the aftermarket alternatives are cheaper unless you already have the AR-style magazines. IMO, the plastic TG is the weakest link and should be replaced with the metal version. And although I'm from the old school and hate synthetic stocks and other parts, I can live with the Savage plastic Axis-style DBM and frame assembly ($20) and bottom cap ($10) when funds are a limiting factor. Especially on a hunting rifle where the Axis-style DBM magazine assembly is lighter (about 6 oz) than the metal DBM assembly.
