Lumping everything into a $2000 budget...

Stainless 700 in 7 mag (stainless fluted) ~ $950
McMillan Classic w/Edge fill ~ $600
SS 6x ~ $300
Seekins low 30mm rings ~ $125
Pic rail ~ $75

...puts you about $50 over budget. Could pick some of those up cheaper if used and could sell the factory 700 stock to stay well under budget.
