I want to replace my .257 that I lost in a divorce, but I want to build this one. I can't afford a custom rifle, so here are some Ideas I have. I want a light mountain rifle.

Looking at a Titanium action
-seem to run $1200ish
-Hart, Schillen, Douglas or Lilja barrel
26" stainless medium taper
1-10" twist
-seem to run $400ish
-McMillian/HS Precision stock
-$400-$500

Here's where my initial thoughts are. Any input would be great!

Thanks .....Gino

Better re check the price on McMillans.
Unless I mis read their site, they are $540, then they need bedding.
I am not ragging on them, great stocks, I have a bunch of them.

I know you said "build" but I saw a Rem 700 stainless fluted with CDL stock on Gunbroker the other day. It was around a grand.
That might be a reasonable cost option.
