[QUOTE="strombeckj, post: 545037, member: 28471"] There are a lot of fine rifles for that money. if $2000 is the budget for the rifle then I would look at a semi custom build or a cooper. otherwise a savage model 12 LRP, Model 10 FCP. Since it will be used for target shooting 280, 260, 243, 6.5x284, 308 or 7-08 in factory chambers would be a good call. otherwise the sky is the limit in wildcats. I would go with something in a 6mm thru 7mm for the BC and the 1000 yard targets, the reduced recoil is a plus and more then enough juice to take out a deer. Used 700/M70/Savage action = $300 or $400 new (savage action or rem 700 box rifle) Barrel/fitted/chambered = $700 (choice of barrel) Stock = $250-500 Bedding = $150 True Action = $200 You can add a trigger or have the factory one re-worked, extra $$ All tough choices. I like the idea of a factory rifle with a GOOD stock that can be reworked later down the road also (hence the savages) Jon [/QUOTE]
