Bulldog,

If I recall correctly, Prechtls actions start around Euro 2000,- for a standard length, and around Euro 3000,- for a Magnum length. His complete rifles with a wood stock are somewhere around Euro 8000,- and up last I checked. These prices might have gone up a bit though. He did once mention that he could make a standard length rifle with a synthetic stock for around Euro 5000,- a while ago.

Ritterbursch gave me a quote not long ago of Euro 10.000 for a complete rifle in 7x64 Brenneke including ERA swing mounts machined into the square bridges.

Another potential option that might come in the near future is a M98 from Waffenfabrik Hein.

Hopefully, these US produced actions will be priced at a more reasonable level than the ones being made by Prechtl and Ritterbusch in Germany today. Not to mention Hartmann&Weiss, which make Ritterbusch and Prechtls actions and rifles look cheap!
