[QUOTE="Seezer, post: 1790319, member: 111130"] The OP also mentioned being under a $2K budget. I went through this same decision recently and purchased a Seekins Havak PH1 in 6.5 PRC ($1850). My dad also bought the same rifle, but a PH2, in a 300 PRC ($1795). Attached are photos of targets at 100 yds with factory Hornady ELD-X ammo, and the 3rd image is my 6.5 with Sierra TGK handloads. Amazing consistency out of the box, and I continue to hear similar stories from others with these rifles. Try a Havak action if you see one - it is the tightest action/lock-up on any rifle I've owned. I also have a Montana X2 in 25-06 and it shoots very similar to these rifles with handloads. You also can't go wrong with the Browning X-bolts. Since you mentioned 28 Nosler and 300 WM, the Havak might be a consideration since it is available in both calibers. Tikka's are great for the price, but 28 Nosler is not an available caliber (yet). Good luck with your choice.
