[QUOTE="aspenbugle, post: 1353296, member: 6481"] Just a thought, but I think you may have ignored a better path. If you are open to spending $2500, you are real near the price of getting a custom rifle, with custom action, match grade barrel, better stock, better trigger etc. by far than any of the guns you list. If you look at most custom builder websites they'll have some $5,000+ guns, but if you price the barrels, stocks, actions and gunsmith charges for putting it together, $2500 gets you really close. You can easily beat the $2500 price tag if you get a remington action trued and put a match-grade barrel, McMillan stock, and good trigger on it (basically full-custom, minus the action). Many 1000 yd benchrest rifles are built on trued Remington actions. This set-up will likely give you group sizes 1/2 the size or better than the three guns you list. Look up 1000yd benchrest results and you'll see plenty of remington/custom actions with Kriegers, Bartliens etc. like you could purchase for that price -- you won't see any factory rifles there. If you want long-range accuracy, no factory barrel is going to get you close to the $300-$400 match grade ones. [/QUOTE]
