There are other options. Gary Eliseo makes a tube stock similar to the Tubb for around $800, it's a very nice set-up. Add a 700 action and barrel and your on your way. I put one together not too long ago for a highpower shooter that really likes it. All together the guy has less than 2K in it, excluding the sights. The only thing is that it's only set up to use the 6BR case, or derivatives of it. A 6.5 Dasher or BRX would be a pretty good choice if you want to stick with the 6.5's.
