Aren't CTR's a couple hundred bucks over 1000 right out of the gate? Put a premium stock on one of those and things get pricey.
Yes, you’d have 1500-1600$ in a ctr SS in a nice stock. About same money as an Bergara HMR pro, the browning x bolt that comes in a McMillan game scout, some of the Christensen arms rifles.
A Remington build would be more than that by my math. It’s all just preference, hard to get a good shooting rifle in a true premium stock with features like a dbm for under $1500. The thing about a tikka ctr is it’s just about guaranteed to shoot in factory form and can upgrade or not to suit preferences. They don’t really “need” anything.
