@VertigoBE Thanks, you are a line of good information. Lots of good places recommended there.
I remember a while (a year) ago you mentioned that a classic custom hunting rifle could be built at reasonable cost in Belgium. In the region of €3.5K .
At some stage I may pick your brain about this as although I love Mauser actions I’m a leftie. I’m thinking of a Winchester M70 or Zastava action for a build.

@VertigoBE you'll have to get my up to speed when you visit us. Why did you keep this information from me?

Definitely going to one of these shops next time I visit Brussels.

With pleasure, I like showing off beautiful Belgium to tourists.

I'm not sure if I ever wrote that, that a custom or semi-custom hunting rifle could be built for 3.5KEUR. Thinking about it now, I would not really know where I would look for this. I can ask around though. Especially the head armourer from Hunting Lodge is a friend, he could get you onto something.

You can find very good and beautiful, sometimes as-new examples of custom rifles for that price point though. For example, just yesterday I posted in the Good Gun Deals thread a fully engraved and restocked 416 Rigby where the donor rifle was a CZ550. Asking 3KEUR. And also another in 7x64 for 3KEUR, fully engraved on a Dumoulin action.

Also 9.3x64r's are going for sometimes very low prices. I know of multiple ones from smaller makers in sxs version that would go for under 5KEUR.
