    For that money you just about can get what ever you want. Make sure it has 1:8 twist and don't expect a $2,500 .223 to be any more accurate than a $1000 Howa. Precision is the name of the game so a bit of top end in a scope like 12 through to 18 is an advantage. Its hard to go past a 1:8 Tikka pimped up with a long Waters mag, long bolt stop and carbon stock, and barrel cut to suit your fancy. @Nathan F might sell you his.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    Yeah just buy a T3 superlite 1:8 twist supress it and put like a z5 or a VX5 on it and you will have change out of 5k. Upgrade the stock when you can. Triggers fully adjustable . MTN bolt handle maybe? Its gonna shoot .
