[QUOTE="hugetacticles, post: 1363988, member: 45038"] I am going to be in the market for a new rifle here soon. I'm going to have to keep my setup between $1500-$1800. I'm probably not going to be shooting much past 500 yards. I currently borrow my cousins x-bolt hunter. I do like that gun a lot. It's chaimbered in 30.06 and the recoil feels minimal. My question is this, I think I can pick up the gun for somewhere around $800-$900 new. I don't want to go full custom but can I get more for my money if I try to piece something together or get something less expensive and have a smith do work on it? The sendero has also intrigued me. Though I know it's not less expensive. Also, like everyone building their first rifle I struggle to settle on a caliber. I would be using it mostly for deer and hopefully elk one day. I would love to get one rifle and shoot it a lot instead of getting multiple calibers and having to learn multiple ballistics charts. I would possibly look at a 7mm, I just don't like recoil.
