What do you guys recommend?


A $2,000 budget? That's easy. Considering how satisfactory my first and only Tikka, I'd go with a Tikka and a Leupold Mark 4 scope and come in way under budget.

The 7mm Remington Magnum I have, an Encore with a Leupold Mark 4 scope, has also been very satisfactory and would run about the same price. Some are put off by single shot rifles though.
