[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1152742, member: 55230"] First off do you have any rifles in the safe for a donor action? Preferably r700. If not... here is what I did: Stiller predator action. Figured this was better than an over worked 700 w/ ptg bolt. McMillan stock Jewel trigger bartlein barrel ptg bottom metal and wyatt box Roughtly a little over 2k in parts+ smith+ Scope... about a 10lb rig This will put you under your 4k budget depending on scope needs/wants. You can easily save on the stock buying used, or any part for that matter. I went w/ the proven 300wm, has plenty of long range capability and the recoil is manageable in my opinion esp w/ the wide variety of bullets available. I don't mind the recoil from the 215's but you can always shoot lighter. I liked this b/c I was able to build to my specs, but if there were one in the classifieds I would've been all over it. For example I went w/ a light palma 25" w/ an inch shorter tang. I also wanted the palma for the 1.25" diameter tang. [/QUOTE]
