[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2373263, member: 115299"] The 6.5 Man Bun will do everything you want to do but since you mentioned black bear I would go 308 Win. If you handload my answer would be 284 Win. It would be just about perfect for what you want to do but Winchester is the only one who offers it in a factory load. Others to consider would be 7mm-08 Rem or 260 (AI). As far as rifles go in a factory gun, Sako 85 Finnlight 2 in 308 $2299.99 or the 85 Carbonlite $2899.99. If you are going full custom buy a Terminus Zeus with the switch barrel option and get a Bartlein prefit barrel 20-24” in the weight and contour you want. Action $1525, Barrel $899. Timney elite hunter trigger $149. Drop it in a KRG Bravo to start with and upgrade later $349. Hawkins UL Tac rings w level $160. Talley Ultra Lite 20 moa rail with level $120. Scope: Leupold VX5HD CDS 3-15x44 HTMR or Fire dot $999-1099. If you catch some of the items on sale you should be right around your 4k budget. If you chose not to go switch barrel you could go with one of Terminus’s or Curtis’s other offerings and be easily within your budget. [/QUOTE]
