Who cares of scarce, ifit fits the bill be patient. I've seen 1 for sake here for a few hours and 3 sightings I could have acted on if I want waiting out a reserve with ark. Itsa hot item but nothing like some exotic keltec
If you want to build it yourself - savage
if you want to buy and go shoot - ruger
I'll bite. Remington 700. A donor action is $400 with the right sale. Sell some of the bits it comes with and recoup $100.
Figure a barrel at $600 installed. Pick a chassis or stock, and you're in at well under your budget. Buy a used stock and you'll have money left over for glass.
Ok, I'd buy the Ruger if I only had $1,100, but you did say up to $2K. Does that number include a scope?
Food for thought , the reports of accuracy issues are already out there on the Ruger , all 243's that I've heard and Ruger has never been known for producing accurate rifle barrels .
No way I would commit to one with out trying it , chassis's and stocks are love - hate deal and with the Ruger your married to their chassis .
The aftermarket for Ruger ie Triggers and such is pretty much non existent .
2k builds a nice Rem or Savage when spent right with parts of your choosing not what the bean counters thought would turn a profit .
Chuck does have a point, although after fondling one I personally don't have any issues with the Ruger beyond the barrel and that's an easy fix. That said, if you're not into AR ergos, you're not going to like a Ruger and as Chuck mentioned, you're stuck with it's Ergos where as with a Rem or Savage there's more options than you can list.Quote:

Is it time to jump into that pool? only you can answer that for yourself, there's a TON of proven reliable parts out there to make a Rem 700 or Savage just how you like it so it boils down to what you want now and down the road.
That number is with no glass....I think this is the route Im going to goQuote:
