[QUOTE="elj1973, post: 1919295, member: 106376"] This is what I just built, good option and way less then $5000. Bighorn action (long action) I did the SR3 but you could go with the Origin model which is under $1000. Proof prefit barrel (I did 7mm mag, my Favorite caliber) lots of other companies offer stainless prefit for the Bighorn with a lower cost then the C.F. wrapped. (Sense wieght was not that important to you).I did the new Bell and Carlson long range hunter BDL stock love the feel prone with the shape of it. Completed it out with a Triggertech trigger special trigger, a H.s. Precision DBM and a Terminator T3 Brake. The only gunsmith fee with this set up was the brake timing sense I did not want washers or shims. Total with a action wrench and viper barrel vise right at about $3050 with out glass and you end up with a custom gun minus the gunsmith fees..Yours would be much less with out the DBM and a stainless barrel and Origin action. One other nice thing about this is If I ever fall out of love with the 7mm, swap the barrel and pick a new caliber, like .300WM for example and I think i could even run 300 PRC in it as well. I went with a Leupold Mark 5 5-25x56 which would put you over $5000, but like others have stated Athlon would be a good budget glass or even vortex PST gen ii (I have 2 of them and never had any issues with them). Total wieght with the leupold is at 9.5 lbs on my kitchen scale. I haven't shot it yet (Covid thing) but I am sure it will be at or under 1/2 moa.
