[QUOTE="Pacecount, post: 1676895, member: 93281"] Why do you feel like you want or need to spend the money on a custom rifle? Your narrative screams good factory rifle. Based on your needs and budget I would buy a Sako or Tikka (these rifles don’t leave the factory unless they are sub MOA) and get a stock from Manners or McMillan if you feel the need... put the rest of your money into good glass. You do not need an exotic or wildcat round for your purposes. You have not mentioned reloading and you have to understand some of that ammo is hard to find and pricey. For what you intend to do you might consider a 6.5 CM or 7mm-08. BTW the 6.5 CM ELDX fly really well... mine is shooting one ragged hole. Both of these are short actions which will translate to less weight and you can have a shorter barrel... 20 or 22” barrel should be fine. You should not need a brake for either of these. [/QUOTE]
