[QUOTE="Philward, post: 1677244, member: 92604"] "Budget" can mean anything, $1k, $2.5k, $5k,...It's just an upper limit or range that a person is willing to spend. "Custom" would mean something that you just cannot buy, special stock, super light weight, obscure caliber, or you want bragging rights. Could be he wants the piece of mind that his action and barrel are trued and fit better than a factory rifle, I'm in that boat myself, but mine shoot well enough that I don't want to spend the money to do more. He wants a Whitetail woods rifle that can shoot reasonably accurate to 500 yds, don't understand the no wood stock thing, I use wood stocks all the time and I'm hunting Pacific Northwest, thick timber and rains all the time here. No issues with accuracy or durability. Don't think he needs a 26" barreled, long range sniper rifle. Big canyon open terrain maybe yes but not in thick whitetail woods. [/QUOTE]
