0:00.0	Welcome to the Huntback Country podcast today. This is a Monday Minute episode where we typically
0:05.6	answer your listener questions. This is Mark and I'm normally joined by Steve but today I am running
0:11.6	solo and this Monday Minute is a follow up to the podcast I did somewhat recently about my custom
0:19.2	rifle build. That was episode number 370 if you guys want to go back and listen to that. If you
0:26.9	haven't already before we dive into some of the Q&A today. So all the questions today are things
0:33.6	that were sent in after that podcast and kind of follow up questions about that rifle in particular
0:40.2	and some rifle related topics. I just got back from Alaska from my Mountain Goat Hunt which was a
0:49.2	wild adventure and we'll tell that story soon on the podcast but this Monday Minute is just pretty
0:56.8	quick and informal. I'm still literally unpacking and getting things together to head out of my
1:02.6	next hunt and a little bit of chaos but wanted to answer these questions for you guys so in no certain
1:09.4	order I'm just going to dive in. One of the most popular questions that came in after that rifle

1:30.3	rallying up the parts. It seems like your cost for components was perhaps around $3,000 and not
1:36.4	counting glass. Would you mind sharing how much you are in for total for this rifle? And again
1:44.2	Brian asked this but several others did. In the article and in the podcast I mentioned
1:49.4	quote thousands of dollars a few times. The reason I didn't put a specific price tag on the rifle
1:56.8	is because my situation was a bit unique in the sense that I didn't just go to my rifle builder
2:04.4	which was sterling precision and say hey here's what I want. What can you guys do with the total
2:09.1	cost going to be. I had started already sourcing components for the rifle build before I knew
2:15.6	exactly what I was building or who was going to build it. Some of those I paid just full retail
2:22.3	normal direct from people like I just drew a blank on the name. Anyway some of the retailers.
