How much rifle can you get for $6000?

Remington says one of their 700's with cool paint and a carbon fiber barrel.

It only cost about a grand to count them.

Gotta be politically correct and not hit the ISIS fighter standing behind them...

See how sensitive I am? I said standing.

You could spend less and get a full-on custom from pretty much any of the best names in the industry and spend less.

If you're thrifty with parts selection, you might even be able to have a good chunk left towards a proper scope as well.

Wow, that's a lot of coin. I can think of many, much better options!

Wow... seems like there's a ton of better options substantially cheaper

That's crazy. I paid a couple grand less than that for my Remington 2020 with TrackingPoint optic.

I know they had a lot to say in the building of this gun. Think I would go a different route if I had 6k to spend on a gun but their gear is awesome.

Really? EuroOptic’s price for the TAC-50 is about $12,000. Is it possible to get one someplace for half that?

And would you carry the McMillan that weighs 26 pounds (without sight or ammo) on a sheep hunt in the mountains?

There is quite a bit more to it than that.

Pierce Titanium Action= $1,335
Manner EH8= $600
Proof Research Barrel= $792
Timney 510= $111
BDL floor plate= $100
Action Bedding= $375
Chamber Barrel= $425
Custom stock paint= $200
LRI Bipod Rail= $40
Badger Bolt knob= $32
Custom Titanium action with same components is $4,010.00

Enough money left over to buy a VERY nice scope.

Well at least its got a decent trigger that probably won't go off when you close the action.

That would be about half a PE57.

That is the most asinine build sheet I've ever seen.

But then, what did I expect from someone who thinks you can get a VERY nice scope for less than $2000...

Tracking point? Isn't that that gimmick optic system bullshit that's tied into the trigger and the shot doesn't go off until you're properly on target? Someone actually bought one of those? Lmao!!

I haven't missed with it yet. So laugh all you want.
