    Default Re: Price of a "custom" rifle.

    Without starting a new thread, what does an action go for, just the action without the barrel. I know its an open question, but starting or approximate values would be appreciated.

    Mauser 98 action standard-hunting rifle action R3500-5000, Granite Mountain Mauser copy action different sizes R 8000 -R15000 then you still have to permanent import it that will cost you a pretty penny extra...
    BAT/STILLER / Barnard action R14000- R20000 target actions , some brands you have to import, some has retailers already in South Africa, most of companies do not sell to private individual in another country....

    Gert, a Granite Mountain arms barreled action is $5000 so R70 000 prior to import tax etc. i have spoken to them personally.

    Gert you are way under price, if I can get a Bat action for R20k It will be a huge bargain.

    That is the cheap part to a custom action, the plating.

    Thank you for correcting me, Finkelstein, yes, it is tragic that we have a situation where an item is not really that expensive..it is our absurdly weak rand currency that makes it this expensive...for example, I really want to do my part to support our local business , buying a barrel from them for a building project ....it is just too expensive...buying it from the USA ensures I can afford it..but items like actions really is in another class when you want to buy from abroad since it has to be imported via a company ...it really is still cheaper to buy a second hand rifle that can be a donor for your custom rifle...this is what the average American hunter doing now, when they want to have a double rifle , they buy a good quality side by side shot gun like a Simson or Westley Richards or Holland and Holland in a 16 ga or 20 ga and build a double on it...not the bells/whistles/gold plating version but still a good option if you really have to have a double rifle..there are many ways to skin a cat..

    Question Re: Price of a "custom" rifle.

    To get an old thread going again
    Is there anywhere in SA a really good stock-maker that uses African woods ( preferably dark ) properly laminated ( cured under pressure with the correct bonding chemicals )
    NO bells and whistles just a good solid laminated stock for a bolt action properly bedded and fitted.

    I thought synthetic but WOOD has a special feel and aura ....
