[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 1868618, member: 103317"] Your budget is quite nice for getting a new shooting stick. I have never built a custom rifle but hope to some day. As someone stated earlier a custom rifle from Gunwerks is a good choice. I am a huge advocate of the Gunwerks rifle and shooting systems. I purchased one of their rifles quite a few years ago and it has never let me down. I have purchased many other rifles since but always go back to the LR1000 when elk season rolls around. The confidence I achieved in shooting this system has been a god send. I did also attend one of their classes in Wyoming. The system they have built is well thought out and works. The combination of the rifle, rifle scope and the G7 rangefinder has kept me on target out to 1400 yards on targets and out to 800 yards on critters. Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to shoot a critter with my rifle out past 800 but one day I hope to and I know this system will do it. I shoot a 7mmLRM and just love it but they are certainly offered in other calibers that components are a little easier to come by. The 28 and 30 Nosler both come to mind as great calibers that I think will be around for along time and there are lots of different bullet combinations to choose from to suit your needs. I am sorry to hear this may be your last hunt. I hope that is not the case. Good luck with your endeavor and please let us know how it turns out. New Zealand is on my bucket list as well. I hope to get there some day. [/QUOTE]
