[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2805732, member: 94154"] You've given yourself a nice budget. I would try to come in way under budget and invest the balance in reloading equipment and components. The cost of the gun, even if you spend $2K, is nothing compared to shooting the barrel out. In that vein, I would go Tikka or Savage. For the most part, their stocks suck, so you might look at replacing the stock right off the bat. My only Tikka is in 204 Ruger. I don't shoot it much so don't have stats on its accuracy. My Brother's LH Hunter is a tack driver consistently shooting sub MOA at 100 using factory ammo. Had a Savage 110 in 7 Mag that would touch bullets at 100 using Rem Core Lokt, and a Savage 308 FCP-SR that did the same. Had an older Rem 700 in 300 RUM that I converted into a 7LRM in a chassis, all for less than $2K including the cost of the RUM gun. That one is 1" at 300, but too heavy to hunt with. [/QUOTE]
