u/Smooth-Narwhal-7251

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some recommendations. I’m planning on either taking a factory rifle a building it up, or doing a completely custom build. My budget is about $2,500 for the rifle either without an optic. This is for big game, so 300 win/WSM or 7mm are most likely. Preferred range is under 400 yards. I’m wanting it to be fairly light, under 8.25 lbs with an optic.

For a custom build, I’m considering using a Tikka/Sako action and pairing it with an aftermarket stock/trigger.

Side note: I’m considering buying a Weatherby 307 or Fierce Rogue to save myself some time. I also dabble in hand loading.

Any and all recommendations are welcome

I’m wanting it to be fairly light, under 8.25 lbs with an optic and as short as as relatively optimal for performance.
