If I could build a rifle and I only had a $25,000.00 budget

[Bowfishn]

I ran into a buddy the other day (no I didn't knock him over) and he was telling me about a guy he met that had a Long Range Rifle with barrels he could change and it would shoot to a mile for hunting and farther for Target.
He said he had $25,000.00 into his set up, barrels cost him $1000.00 a piece.
I asked him what caliber it was, he wasn't sure but thought it might have been a 338 something.
It got me thinking about what combination of parts would I get to build a $25,000.00 rifle including Scope. That is if I wanted to part with a little extra pocket change.
( what I really wanted for a gift today )

I'm not sure I could spend 25k on one rifle. I'd probably build 2-3 set up exactly like I wanted for that amount lol.

Build a custom. I've been shooting for a while and even I don't have the confidence to take those stupid long shots at game. Shooting steel I'll sling lead all day.

I do believe the guy was blowing a lot of hot air, just wanted a rifle he could brag about, and I doubt he had that much into it.
Maybe I am wrong.

Although, I did read about the new Remington sniper rifle package with switch barrel capabilities. Came with 308, 300 win mag, and 338 lapua mag barrels along with a ton of accessories. Eurooptics had some available to the public for like 23k. If I had money like that I would consider that set-up.

That's the rifle I'm talking about, but it comes with a LOT of stuff.

It is sweet, maybe the dude bought one. I will have to show my buddy a picture of that one. He did see it.

Just checked out Eurooptic
$21,000.00 complete Kit
$10,499.00 just the 338 Lapua
no scope that will be extra

Can't believe it is not offered in 6.5 Creedmoor!

Yeah even the guy writing the article said that about the creedmoor. But it's definitely a very well thought out package with top of the line everything. If I had a spare 22k laying around I'd jump all on it lol

Now that's Gun Porn if I ever saw it!

That's it. I'm selling the wifes car. I need that.

Haha when I first saw it I told my wife I wanted it. Let's just say that I can't repeat what she told me I could do with it if I did that lol not in polite company at least

 

[Bowfishn]

If I sold all the clothes that my wife bought and has never worn I believe I would have enough. Hmmmm? Would she notice?

Maybe you were joking, but I bet the fact that the mlitary does not shoot the 6.5 Creed... Nothing against the best cartridge ever designed, but 308, 300 win., and 338 Lapua make the most sense if you're competing for gov. contract.

It may have been a DT with several carbon barrels, suppressors for each one, different bolts, high end rangefinder like a G7 or Kilo 2400, high end bipod, and other odds and ends that go with a set up like that, and you could be getting close to that 25k....ha ha I imagine something like this in a pelican case with a few more goodies might get ya there
