Mark Bansner builds a great custom and his prices are good. A friend had a rifle built on a howa 1500 action in 270 for his daughter and I think that it was right around a grand. I like him for bigger rifles and Holland for smaller stuff, Holland's not so cheap though.----SS

Look around your local area for a decent gunsmith and see what he charges. I had no idea there were 3 in my area and all were able to show me various rifles that I would be very proud to own if only I could afford it. Not that their prices were out of line, just that I can't afford a new 22lr right now much less a full on custom. If you get it done local, it's easier to get all the details worked out.

+1 with snake river, just be sure to 'interview' your local smiths to make sure that they are capable and willing to provide the type of custom work that you want.---------SS
