[QUOTE="thrownsmoke14, post: 2804554, member: 125318"] For a low budget option, I have had several Ruger American 6.5 CM that shoot in the .2’s and .3’s at 100yards. My brother in law has a Ruger American 300WM that shoots .5’s and .6s” groups at 100 yards. If u shop around for components, you can build an amazing rifle for $2k. Look at other barrel makes, such as Douglas or McGowen, and so on. Check out some of the custom actions that are on the lower side of price, like big horn origin, or Gun Werks GRB… triggers then consider a Timney, magpul hunter stock, and so on. You can build a custom rifle around the 2k range that shoots bug holes and then upgrade parts if you choose through out you life. Don’t get me wrong, I’m in the process of building one of those $5k+ rifles, but I have my fair share of budget rifles that shoot bug holes. I forgot to mention that the Ruger rifles have been upgraded with triggers and either stiffened the factory stocks or new stocks. Also, seating depth testing to tune accuracy or work up your own loads if you reload. Good luck! You always have options if you can do some stuff yourself. [/QUOTE]
