[QUOTE="longrangehunter, post: 649729, member: 386"] Need suggestions on the most value for the buck. Would like something accurate out to 800+ yards. This will be my big game rifle for Antelope to Elk. Primarily Elk. I don't have time to get into reloading at this time so will be using factory ammo only. 95% sure I want to go with a 300 WM as it seems to have the best selection of ammo at a reasonable price. I'm not recoil adverse. $2000 is the budget for just the rifle. Maybe $2500 depending on the feedback. I already have a decent scope, rings, and bases (Mark 4 3.5-10x40mm LR/T M3). Also have a Rem 700 Jewell Trigger and H&S PSS stock I can reuse. So what should I do? Buy a factory HB like a Remington XCR Tactical, look for a used custom, ??? Edit: I would like to stay around 8.5-9.5 lbs for the rifle not including scope, etc. [/QUOTE]
