Let's build a sub moa rifle for deer size game that will help others save miney

[Maina]

This is the break down of guns . And let's go with the person does not reload
Tikka t3
Savage Axis
Sendero Rem.
T/C. Icon ,venture
Saco A7
Weatherby vanguard
Rem LR

I'm going with 7 mm mag
I'm really wanting a 26 inch barrel but that looks tuff
Stainless would be great . No muzzle break . Clip would work . No wood stock .
Would like to keep build at $1500.00
I just did a build on one and that one took me to $3000 gun $1500 range finder and 1500 in reloading . I don't think a lot of people can do that .
And I'm trying to give back to this forum for all the help

Can a mod fix that to money please

I wouldn't use a Savage Axis. I would just use a Savage SS 116 with a magnum bolt face, put a 26" 7RM Savage prefit barrel on it from the custom barrel maker of your choice, and call it awesome.

Will that put us over the price we are trying to stay at gun and scope 1500

A sendero is $ 1200 now that leaves 300 for scope but it has a 26 inch barrel also

Buds has the Savage 116 for $716
McGowen Custom 26" varmint contour barrel is: $325

The 116 Savage stock is the accustock with aluminum bedding. So it is pretty good.
Savage Accutrigger is hard to beat in a factory action.

This leaves about $450 for some sort of scope.

The thing is this setup gets you a custom aftermarket button rifled barrel. The barrel will probably contribute more to the accuracy of the rifle than anything else you could do for it.

Given the budget I would monitor the classifieds here. With a little time in monitoring the players, one can find fairly often, a custom from a reputable builder, from a reputable buyer taking a loss.

I would not assume the factory offerings available, don't meet the accuracy requirements as is.

I may have to go with a 24 inch barrel but this can happen

 

[Tnwhip]

Ruger Precision Rifle 243 has a 26" barrel, 6.5 Creedmore has a 24' barrel. 308 has a 20" barrel. They are hard to find and can run anywhere from $900 to $1500. Depends on where you buy it. Plenty of Good Factory ammo. They do shoot great.

Savage 116 7mm rem mag used : Bolt Action Rifles at GunBroker.com


Rebarrel later with a faster twist so you can shoot the heavies

 

[MudRunner2005]

If you don't mind toting a slightly hefty rig, or if you hunt mostly in shooting houses or from hilltops with a bipod on the rifle, then this setup would be awesome for your budget...

Remington 700 Long Range 7mmRM - 26" 1:9.25 twist, B&C stock (factory). ($699)
Timney trigger ($150)
EGW HD 0 MOA base ($60)
Seekins Precision 30mm Low rings ($120)
SWFA SS 3-15x42 MilQuad reticle ($559.96 on sale @ SWFA right now)

I had a Remington LR for 3 month and the barrel was junk ! Threw lead all over

That leaves me not a lot for scope ?
