So I've done a bit of soul searching and it has led me to this: I can't justify the expense of a custom bolt action rifle. Maybe in a year or two, but right now the cost is just not palatable to me. I had a builder that I was speaking to about having a rifle built but the numbers simply don't work for me at this time. So, I've switched gears. I'm gonna go box-stock.
I'm betwixt and between 3 rifles, the new and much anticipated, internet melting Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5C, the Savage LRP in either 6.5C or, more likely 260Rem and the Tikka CTR in 260Rem.
Rifles will be paper punchers. Hopefully I'll be able to shoot a small, local match or two with it. If not, it's just a fun hobby. It'll be shooting regularly to 300 and hopefully to 1k if I can get to a semi-local range next year.
Any thoughts on these? I think the Ruger may be to new to really judge but the platform is VERY appealing. The Savage is a proven shooter but will need some tweaks to make it "perfect" to me. The Tikka is supposedly awesome but I worry about magazine costs and if I decide to upgrade the stock, manufacturers compatability. Initial purchase price is roughly the same for all 3 rifles.
Thanks in advance.
