[QUOTE="Xtremetj, post: 1142510, member: 91567"] After alot of deliberation, I've decided to go with a 6.5x284 and have a budget of $1500 for the rifle alone (optics have already been purchased). Primary use for this gun is hunting, 500-600 yards max for deer & antelope and would like to learn to shoot longer distances on paper/steel out to 700-800 yards. I do not reload but my son does so it won't take much to get started (in my mind). Can a gun smith put together a good rifle for that money or should I just buy the Savage Weather Warrior or Nosler Patriot? If I have a gun smith put one together, what do you recommend for stock, barrel, action, etc. Who do you recommend for gun smith? Thanks, Greg [/QUOTE]
