I love all the suggestions, but I think a person really has to ask what does spending $2500 get me over a Tikka Roughtech or Veil? ….ok, let's say you are particular about the stock, brake or even the barrel….one or two of those can be replaced and still be under $2500.
I think you will find a Tikka will be a legit 1 MOA rifle. That is sub half MOA all day long on the internet.
The Tikka does have a down side. It has a small shank diameter and an action length that is too short for long magnum builds. I think 3.4" is max factory OAL and somehow it can be modified to 3.5" OAL.
The other issue is they tend to chamber in mundane calibers. You can get a 6.5x55, but not a 6 creed nor 280AI. Twist rates are typical to slow….like 11 twist 300 WM.
6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC and 243 8 twist are all nice choices.

It's my understanding European gun makers have different regulations and approval of new cartridges takes a while to incorporate.
(Someone correct me if I'm wrong)
With many upgrades available a person has plenty of options. Watch the ads on this forum and you can get a very nice package put together.

Get yourself a solid custom action like a Mack Brothers. Then a barrel of your choosing, trigger and stock and have a gunsmith chamber it for you. It'll be waaay better than anything off the shelf and every aspect will be what you want it to be.

$2500 is a good start towards a nice Cooper.
