Hey the more important thing is are you happy with the work? Are you glad you have the rifle? Can you afford it and use it without thinking about the money? Do you think your Gunsmith was working for you to give you what you wanted?
Those are the questions I try to answer before I worry about it.
I think you got a fair deal.
