[QUOTE="AC300RUM, post: 1685200, member: 40196"] 49 Facilities management 2 kids still at home, one off to college, one off to the real world this fall. Just retired Custom MAtch Grade Arms built on a model 70 that’s in its 23rd year, 3rd 7 STW barrel and second stock. Old and very beat Leupold VX3 long range 4.5-14x50 with a premier reticle. Rifle cost $1800 in 1996, scope was $450. Interestingly this rifle started life slinging 140 grain Barnes X’s, second barrel was worn out by 160 accubonds and finished its career pushing 180 grain Bergers. Too many unsatisfactory attempted replacements between now and then, from a lot of custom and semi custom makers, I don’t even want to know what I’ve spent. My current setups are a Fierce edge in 6.5 creedmore that shoots lights out with 140 Bergers and wears a 3-18x50 Leupold VX6 HD with TMOA reticle, so call it $4500 into the setup. My rifle I will hunt with 90% of the time is a Christensen Arms Traverse in 300PRC. Leupold 4-24x52 TMOA reticle. It will be shooting 214 or 227 Hammers. Right around the same money, $4500. Seems to be a reasonable amount for two pretty solid outfits. [/QUOTE]
