[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1056489, member: 12995"] Does your budget include optics, or is that separate? If $2,000 was my budget including optics, here is what I would do....This is just me, others opinions I'm sure will be different... You would be cheapest to buy a Sendero SFII in 7mm RemMag and have the chamber opened up to 7mm STW. Then have it bedded, swap in a Jewell, true the action, and lap the barrel, then re-crown it. EGW HD 20 MOA base, Seekins Precision 30mm Low rings, and a Vortex Viper HS-T 6-24x50. I would save grandpa's old gun for building a wicked heavy barreled .25-06 AI for varmints and close deer and coyotes. These are just what I would do if I had $2k to play around with, and was in your shoes. Of course, I already have 2 7mm STW's, and a .25-06 AI, so I know exactly what you're missing out on.... :D:D:D [/QUOTE]
