    Hmmm - serious moolaa @ $5k++. And not a great choice in calibres. I have just about finished a light weight 280AI custom build for $3k, based on rem700 sps ss action, trued by Grant, UM 24in TrueFlite barrel #3 fluted. Dropping it into a Browns precision Kevlar "pounder" stock. All up bare rifle is 6 lbs, & will come in close to 5 & 3/4 lbs once I get bolt fluted & change out trigger for lightweight Timney (that last item will push me just over the $3k) etc. Have had a great run with 3 other re-barrel jobs from TrueFlite in past - all have been 1/2 moa. They have featured heavier contour barrels. Wanted to push the envelope a bit on this build in terms of weight savings. Fingers crossed this latest project also is close to the 1/2 moa mark.

    Given Berretta's after sales service: probably very good in comparison. Just sayin'

    Grant stands by his work in my experience. I have no qualms about warrantees.
