What did that set up cost? I'm trying to piece together a .17 Rem in an AR platform.

Probably right around $600. Just a pieced together gun from quite a few sources. Here’s a link for the barrel, the real heart of the gun, that I used.

There is nothing I don’t like about this rifle. It is an absolute joy to shoot. I won the stripped lower in a raffle, put that together with mil spec parts, except for the Rise trigger. Bought a finished upper from Palmetto and recently swapped the stock 16” 223 barrel for a 24” Satern heavy stainless 223 Wylde 1/12, and I also replaced the bolt with a JP.
The AGM Spectrum 4k LRF digital is mounted with an American Defense QD mount. Sighted at 100. My clubs rifle range only goes out to 240 and the load I worked up (55gr VMax over 22.4gr H322) had me ringing the 6” steel plate at 240 with confidence building regularity.
For night time use I’ll use either the Sniper Hog Light Hyperion 40 with a 940 IR or the 66 with the 850 depending on if they’re light sensitive. The rifle is bulletproof, no pun intended, and the optic is awesome. Light gathering capability is incredible. No IR light necessary until complete darkness. If there’s a full moon, no need for IR at all. If you’re looking for a new optic check out Outdoor Legacy in Texas. Great folks, super fast shipping.
I also have the twin to this gun except that one has a 20” Shaw 1/8 medium stainless chambered in 204 Ruger. I went with the 223 because I had a couple of runners this year even after I hit them pretty good with the 204. The 204 shoots equally as well except for the lighter bullet.

Top is an aero m4e1 upper and lower. 16” .223 wylde. Lantac enhanced BCG
Gas buster handle with a CMC hybrid combat curve 3.5# single stage. Gen1 PST in an AD recon mount. Rattle canned with stencils I made. I love this rifle. Shoots way better than I can and I got every part during different crazy sales.
Bottom is a 6.8 SPC with an ARP barrel. Built by black stone arms. SLR rail, CMC single stage. Usually use that one for pigs.
