Cheap? If $750 and up is "cheap", then yes. Occasionally an original XP will slip through under that but you are better served scouring the classified ads of the various forums and even then it is rare these days to see one under 6 bills. A custom stock will run $300 + or -, as will a quality barrel blank. Depending on the 'smith and the options you want, you can easily have well over 2 G's in the pistol.
