[QUOTE="Imperial Bull, post: 1101838, member: 35443"] Seems like there are a few fans for the lane precision as well as a couple other makers. I am not opposed to going with a fairly well known name. To be honest the only thing keeping me away from going that route was price, as most are out of my ball park, and not knowing if I am paying extra for a name. I know you often get what you pay for, but I also know there are some charging outrageous prices for their rifles that are no better than some many dollars less. This is where your opinions are very valuable. That being said, I set a goal to keep it around $3000 for a bare rifle. If the quality and customer service are solid I may increase that another grand at most. Love to be able to spend more, just can't justify it now and I do believe I can get a quality rifle in my price range, but maybe I am asking a little much. You tell me. So keep the thoughts coming as I really do appreciate them. Even if I don't go the route you suggest do to cost or wants its still opens my eyes to other possibilities and ideas. Spending this amount of money I want to do my best to get what I will truly be pleased with. There hasn't been a post on this thread that wasn't useful. I have looked into each one, so thank you. I did see that the "classic" model by lane precision was in my ballpark. Didn't quite have the components I wanted by I bet that can be fixed. Anyone have that particular model and what do you think? As for the 338 norma idea, I am not as familiar with the cartridge. I know the ballistics are very similar, but I assumed that going to a cartridge with a case design like the norma or lapua I would have to go with a beefier action, creating more weight that I don't want. Please correct me if I'm wrong and if others value these calibers over the rum or edge speak up. [/QUOTE]
