    Kurt-

    I'd be doing another season with the rifle you have (which is pretty good) before diving into a serious build. Pre-Covid, you just outlaid your ~$8-10K and off you went. Nowadays, the component shortage and prices are a real headache. Virtually any Lapua brass is over $300/100 if you can find any and projectiles are near unobtanium. It's a constant battle just to have enough for actual shoots and you often have to short-cut load development and practice. I can't see the situation improving markedly in the near or even medium-term future.

    If you decide further down the track to lash out, fair enough but doing it right now will be an expensive exercise full of frustration and constant effort just to keep the gear running.
