It may seem silly, but you first need to define what you consider as high quality. To me high quality means a combination of accuracy and dependability in adverse conditions. Fit and finish may look nice, but honestly it has little to do with how well the rifle functions on a hard hunt.
Many "quality" rifles chit the bed when used in adverse conditions. I'd say one of the most vulnerable areas of a rifle when it comes to functioning in adverse conditions is the trigger. Overly complex trigger designs are apt to lock up when exposed to water and debri.
So to me many "quality" rifles that work perfectly well in a tree stand or hunting blind aren't worth a hoot when hunting in wet and especially marine environments.
Finally, if money isn't an object I'd say look beyond factory rifles and consider having a custom built to your specs.
