This question was asked on another forum. If you had $5K to throw at a rifle including optics, and you dont reload and want to shoot paper and steel at 1000 yards what would you buy? My response was Tikka CTR .260, SS 5-20X56 HD, quality rings and mounts of choice, Harris or Atlas bi-pod, rear bag, Midway shooting mat, and a case of ammo and go shooting.
Now I got pretty much called an idiot and he should be looking towards a GAP, Southern Precision, Or other custom builder using a custom action. So if I'm an idiot how would you put together a $5K rifle including optics? The one stipulation is you can't use factory (is. Rem, Sav) actions because they dont hold value.
