It is at most 2 days work to put them together, so $5,000 a day is pretty ritzy wages in my books.
If you say $6,000 fast enough it doesn't sound too bad, when you compare it to what else you can get for the same price, starts to look like not such a good deal.

There is a lot more into that build than 2k in parts: to start that stock blank is 800USD right now and it was totally redone. Good luck building that rig for less than 8k with what went into it and the one of a kind work. Ralph is expensive but his work isnt run of the mill either.
Ive held that rifle and remember when he was building it. If I had the free coin i wouldnt hesitate to buy it.
