[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1884844, member: 69478"] Remington 5R Gen 2. It already has a good stock with aluminum bedding block, it’s threaded for a brake or suppressor, it has a Sendero contour barrel with flutes. They shoot very well and are priced in the $1000 range. I would recommend getting an aftermarket trigger. I love the Triggertech triggers and the Timney’s are great too and they’re both around $150. The aftermarket and the support in general for the 700 platform is huge! Remington has stepped up their quality in the last couple years and are making very true and consistent rifles from the factory. My next option would be a Savage Long Range Hunter or Savage High Country. Savages have been excellent shooters right out of the box and come with a lot of nice features from the factory. They also have a big aftermarket and barrels can easily be swapped on them at home. Remingtons have this option now as well, but there’s still more options for Savage pre-fits. I personally prefer Remingtons. They look, feel, and just function better for me. I also like to build semi-custom rifles and the Remingtons just have more aftermarket options and they feel and look nicer when done up. Both rifles out of the box will be good shooters and both will be reliable and perform similarly. Have you considered possibly building a semi custom rifle? With your $1500 budget it’s very much possible to build a semi custom Remington. [/QUOTE]
