[QUOTE="jstanton, post: 2330112, member: 102980"] I have mostly custom rifles. Everything from trued Remington actions with Douglass barrel and B&C stock to full blown customs with Defiance actions, Proof barrels, and McMillan/Manners stocks. With that said, I think in the $2,000 price range you would be hard pressed to build a custom, unless you are taking a factory rifle and working it over. I wouldn't overlook the Christensen line of rifles. I just picked up a Ridgeline in 300wm and love it. I was a little hesitant, being use to customs, but it did not disappoint. During the barrel break in process I shot a 5 shot group that measured 0.42" at 100 yards. My worse group was 0.96" but that was my first group and I think I was partially to blame for the size. I am currently working up a load for it if my Bergers ever show up! My only complaint is the trigger. It has a Trigger Tech Primary which I am not fond of. I am partial to Timney Calvin Elite and Jewel triggers so I will probably be swapping triggers in the near future. [/QUOTE]
