[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 156994, member: 7"] SirCharles... If $1500 is your ceiling (not including scope), then I would suggest doing what [b]rigmechanic[/b] said. I have not been a Remington fan in the past, but two friends of mine are shooting Sendero-IIs in 1,000 "F" class matches, [b]"out of the box"[/b], with nothing more than a trigger adjustment, and they are doing very well. They talked me into buying a Sendero-II in .264 Win Mag for a long range "Feral dog" varmint rifle, and it is the most accurate over the counter rifle I have ever bought. It shoots like a custom rifle. Street price for a Sen-II is about $900 give or take. The stock is suitable for longrange shooting, and the gun weight is fine for long range shooting. The new Remington trigger is a great improvement over the old one, and I have brought four of them down in the 24 to 28 ounce range. They break clean. This would give you $600 more to put into a better scope (you can NEVER have too much money in the scope!!!). There is the option of buying an action, or a used rifle for the action, and that starts you at around $500, a stock for $400, and a trigger for $150, and a barrel for $350, and someone who isn't a hack to chamber it, fit it and put the rig together and glass it for around $400... that'll put you into it for just a bit south of $2,000. .
