flounder Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I believe WaltherGSP is buying everything from scratch. match Barrel, upper, BCG, lower, trigger, tube, stock. etc. Between that and shipping from all the different places it doesnt take long to rack up 1500+ before optics. Still a drop in the bucket when it comes to something custom he will have when he is done. I feel his pain considering my new LR build is making my wallet beyond sick... Beegreen, you understand a bit considering you know how much just the optics cost that I will be running on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walther_gsp Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Damn 2000 grand without optics, what all did you get? I figure i'll be spending around 1500 with optics then in a few months another 500 on an eotech sight.I have an eotech that I love. However, take a look at the Vortex red dots and their 1-4x scopes.

flounder Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hell another grand and I could've had that 338LM or 300 Hulk I've been thinking about. No you couldnt. Youre forgetting that there is over $1000 just in gunsmithing charges with a custom bolt gun. Action TruingChambering, Threading + thread ProtectorMuzzlebreak + Timing to the barrelBedding Paintingetc,. etc.Not to mention the base components like stocks, actions, barrels, etc. are much more expensive, and lets not forget new brass, new dies, new bullets, new powder. etc, etc. It gets nasty allot quicker then you would think. It hurts just thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSXRBirch Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I thought about reloading my rounds but working 7 days a week and the time I'm home im with the kids, just don't have time but thinking when I get my ar im gonna have to start. When I go to the range with the XD(M)40 I go thru a few hundred rounds so it would be a great idea to start reloading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I go to the range with the XD(M)40 I go thru a few hundred rounds so it would be a great idea to start reloading.Time to put a progressive reloader on the work bench! I have been reloading with my son since he was 5. He's now 11. If I'd allow him to do it by himself, he could whip up rounds with the best of them. What I'm getting at is your kids are sponges for information and its a lifetime learned skill. If they are at all interested, share a little time at the bench with them. I actually kept the first 50 shells of .357 he primed for me 6yrs ago......I found them in the safe a few weeks ago. Was kinda cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97af Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Instead of editing the last post....If you do decide to do some re-loading, do the single stage route first so you can get your basics down....Its much easier to get the ball rolling with a progressive if you've got the single stage dialed in..

The stock, barrel, action and scope rail were ordered in DecemberBipod, front bipod rail, and rings were ordered last week. Waiting on the 7mm mandrels for the KM neck turner so that I can measure and turn the necks of the new brass. (If needed)Trigger is on my reloading bench.Powder, Redding Dies + VLD seaters, Brass, and Bullets are already in. 200 pieces of Lapua 6.5-284 Brass were necked up from 6.5 to 7 last week.

flounder Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) i am not questioning your ability but you did get 35mm rings, right?Yup.. 35mm American Rifle Company Rings - Best rings on the market IMO.. FYI, I actually ended up getting the EBR2 reticle and not the EBR-2B. I was a bit concerned about numbers right next to the tree for elevation holds on the 2B. http://americanrifle.com/scope_rings/default.asp Edited February 2, 2011 by flounder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe he was getting that one. Same basic scope though.And trust me, I know he is not that big of a dumbass, but you would laugh when I tell you how many get turned back in damaged becuase a guy that is "so called, not that big of a dumbass" tries to put that monster in 30mm rings. The one was a former sniper in the SEALS... who just did not pay attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
