[QUOTE="Buck3, post: 2347939, member: 99258"] FWIW I bought a Ruger America Predator with the Vortex from the factory for my oldest first "real" hunting rifle. Knowing it's going to be a learning curve knowing it's going to get neglected and abused. I have been impressed with it for around $600. It shoots very well and the only time we have had to rezero is when I made him switch to handloads instead of factory ammo. I've owned rifles in every price point under 15k and I was impressed with the value in that ruger. I hunt with a full custom Proof, carbon stock, nightforce scope and appreciate it for what I have. However I would say from a pure accuracy standpoint my rifle shoots roughly the same as his for 10x the price. The reason people are telling you to spend $ on your Rem is because that's what the majority of the rifles are in the semi-custom price range. Most all are based on the Rem700 action with upgraded stocks, barrels, and triggers. You can get there with what you have for less $ then buying one of them. Upgrade one part at a time as you do. Start with a smaller profile barrel and trigger(if needed), then upgrade the stock later. [/QUOTE]
