Go in style, get Weatherby Mark V deluxe or ultra light. 300 Weatherby, or the new screaming 6.5 / 300. You can also get them in the RC option.
 
Christensen barrels seem to shoot fairly well but their stocks are nothing special. If it was me I'd order a Gunwerks action, a Christensen barrel, a Wyatt mag box, bottom metal from somewhere (PTG possibly) and send it to LRI like was suggested. With a good stock you'd be in it around 2500 but it would handle the longer COAL needed for the 300wm or 30 Nosler and be a nicer rifle. Or buy a Ridgeline and have it opened for a Wyatt box and stick it in another stock. You could always just stick with a steel barrel and save a few bucks too.
 
And for saya .300 Win Mag - you can get Muzzle brakes if you like - some even are easily attachable/removable - for extended bench shooting - but as for hunting - if you are taking a shot at a big critter - you shouldn't even notice the recoil. :)

I don't :)
 
I've procrastinated on getting a custom rifle built for my upcoming hunts and now it's too late to have one built. I'm looking to spend 2k give or take and not sure what direction to go. I'm looking at the weatherby ultra lightweight and the nosler model 48 long range. Not sure if I'm wasting money on these and should look at other options or try to find something else on the classifieds. And opinions would be appreciated. Thx
If it were me, I'd go with a Remington 700 5R CDL OR BDL. I've seen these in a couple of Buyers Club specials for about 1k with most of the bells and whistles already setup some include a threaded muzzle for your choice of brake. Use a muzzle brake and spare your shoulder the punishment of felt recoil. I spent 3yrs building mine around the mod 700 receiver. Given the choice to do it over, I'd be ordering the mod 700 5R .300 win mag in a heart beat. The only issues I encountered on my build was that I didn't have that much folding money all at once. But mechanically my only issue was the extractor. Sometimes it just wouldn't catch the belted rim. So I had an M-16 style extractor installed. I have several mod 700's in different cal's that I've never had an extraction problem with. So if you get one and it functions don't mess with it. Hope this helps? Good hunting
 
Idk if it's just where I hunt, but my last few deer seasons up in my stand I've noticed that my rifles setup with muzzle brakes really help with felt recoil and muzzle jump. On one foggy morning I had a couple of Doe's and a medium buck doing their thing along the edge of the woods. I was going to take the bigger of the Doe's when a Bruiser showed up! My Timney trigger is set at 3.5#'s which I love, but when I changed positions with a gloved finger in the guard I touched off a round. A combination of the Buck fever and stupidity. But what I saw after was after the shot, they flinched but didn't run off till my 2nd shot made its mark. I think that by being in the woods and my muzzlebrake dispersing the report the Deers couldn't figure out which direction the sound came from? They were alert and looking around, but I honestly think it was the sound displacement that let me get the money shot. Plus with the brake I can shoot more at the range without the followup ice pack to the shoulder, and longer range shots (700-800yrds) are a lot easier to getting those 1.5" or less groups. I'm pro muzzlebrake voter.
 
If I were you I would give Ryan Pierce a call at piercission rifles, he builds awesome guns and is a specialist let's say with the 28 nosler, he has a long waiting list but this year he decided to take half his slots and build spec guns so he could always have some on hand for people in your situation. Give him a call he uses all top shelf components, manners stocks, Kelbys actions His rifles have shot in the .1 and .2in the 28 nosler and that cartridge is easy to load for.
 
Tikka T3 stainless
Manners Elite Hunter stock
Lightweight and extremely accurate for quite a bit under your budget.
Bergara Premier Series Mountain - never owned one but have heard their quality is excellent!
 
The mag box on the Tikka neuters the 300 Wm. Will it be accurate? No doubt but you will loose performance plus they can't seem to figure out 11 twist is a thing of the past.
 
I just built basically the same rifle I suggested you build a couple weeks ago. My reamers is set up for 215's and has a bit tighter neck then normal. It's a Gunwerks GRB action, Christensen barrel, Stocky's stock (not a big fan of this stock. I would run a McM Game Warden if I didn't have the Stocky's.), Trigger Tech Special, one of my 5 port Beast brakes, and Leica ER5 4x20. I chambered it on fathers day (a present to myself) and bedded it the next week. I loaded 75, 76, 76.5, and 77grs of H-1000 with 215's, 5 rounds of each. I bore sighted it at 100 and shot groups with 75 and 76grs. The 75gr load wasn't special but the 76grs load showed promise. So I moved back to 790yds and guessed at my dope. I shot the last 76gr round I had and hit low. I dialed 2 more MOA and shot the 3 shot group pictured with the 76.5gr load. I did zero break in or load development, just shot it like I normally do. I used the seating depth from my buddies gun I chambered with the same reamer. This was with Peterson brass BTW. So with the 9th through 11th round through the gun it shot a little over 1/4moa at 790yds (2.25").
