Thread: $5k plus rigs, what do you have? Favour?

5k is very easy to spend, he'll some of the European rifles guys wn are more than that without 3k worth of glass on top.

IMO a Tikka is the best starting point regardless of your budget, they just offer the best bang for the buck and really don't leave anything to be desired for the most part.

A Tikka with your choice of suppressor will leave you with about 3k to spare.
I'd probably spend all of that on an optic but you could go for a VX5 for around 2k and then have 1k left for a carbon stock if that's your thing.
For a do everything rifle a Tikka CTR + a 2k scope would be hard to beat, leaves you a bit of money left over for suppressor or whatever other accessories you want/need.

The much harder thing to justify IMO is spending 3k+ on decent binos.
I know top tier RF binos are fantastic and you won't regret buying them but shit that's a decent chunk of someone's budget spent just finding the damn animals.
