Mossberg MVP with a supressor and optic only about $1200, the 6.5PCC all told is just at $2K.

[XC700116]

A2 Stock and Buffer Assembly - $63.95
LPK - No trigger - $34.95
RRA 2 stage NM trigger - $94.95
Anderson Lower - $44.95 + $25 transfer fee to your local ffl
Anderson upper - $44.95
WOA 18" rifle gas wylde chambered barrel - $269.99
Fail Zero Nib-X BCG - $129.99
BCM Charging Handle - $44.95
Nordic Rifle Handgaurd - $89.95
Gas Block - $19.95
Gas Tube - $14.95
Nordic Corvette Comp - $47.95
Aero Precision Scope Mount - $79.95
Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10X44 - $599.99

Grand total $1606.42 + whatever Brownells charges for shipping on the barrel, all the other stuff would get free shipping from Joe bob's and Primary arms. And everything is in stock right now. With propper assembly, I'll bet $100 it will shoot as well or better than that Rock River A4 Varmint that would be $1149.95 plus the same $599.99 optic and $79.99 mount for a total of $1829.93.

Also a pretty damn good option

I've been wanting to build a stubby .308 bolt gun with a can for a while... I think it's next on the list.
In the logic of the interwebz, you should build one because I think it would be cool.

That is pretty close to this: http://www.carbonarms.us/AR-15-Upper...-18-Upper.html except with a better gas system, barrel and upper receiver. We had them on sale for $700 during Christmas so if you want one, I would still match that price.

I'm kind of liking the Rock River A4 Varmint model in either the 18" or 20" model.

I have a RRA Varmint with the 20" barrel and I can't tell you how happy I am with that gun. The thing is just stupid accurate. It will shoot groups as tight as My GAP .260. At 100 yards anyways. It's by far a sub-MOA gun. I have shot everything from 50gr to the 77gr SMK with awesome results. But mainly the 77 SMK. I've even had good luck single loading the 80gr bullets.

I really don't think you can go wrong with that RRA Varmint.

Thanks for all of the advice and opinions.

Perhaps I'll just build it how I want. Pretty sure I had the rifle parts priced out about $1,300 including a good barrel, nice handguard, billet upper and lower receiver, and Geissele trigger. I'll have to look everything up again to make sure I didn't miss something. If the optics and mount put me a little over my target budget then so be it.

Of course,,a brand new Remington 700 Tactical heavy barrel would probably set me back about $600 and I could drop it in an XLR Element chassis for about another $700.

Darn it. Still too much to think about.

1,300 sounds decent for a precision build. I think your choice in handguards, receivers, and barrel will vary quite a bit in price. everything else is, more or less, cut and dry. The only thing that bothered me about most .223 bolts, they come in 9 twist barrel, most say it's too slow for anything heavier than 69gr's, which is nice for extended distances out of a .223/5.56.

Pretty close to mark's $$ for mine (picture is basic off web) not mine, cause i don't feel like snapping a pic at this time.
ANYWAY I had burt bring the bbl from 24 down to 18" and threaded. I run an AAC M4 on it. Bushnell 6500 glass. My handloads, 55gr JSP with 2230 or x-terminator is dead on. Myself with more trigger time i have no doubt, hopefully. Outside of an aftermarket stock, the trigger is adjustable, yet good for now stock setting, Chambered for 5.56. IMO it's a sleeper for what you get , as people who fired it have said.
