I will add that saving money has allowed me to pursue, for nearly a year (and counting hopefully), turning a hobby into a business.

Don't forget, a decent optic for a precision rig would run about 800 min, up to 4k
Well I also look at any purchase I may make especially in the firearms area an investment. Firearms especially have a good resale value. I have always found a way to save and have big boy toys at the same time. the '70 firebird I have in the garage will tell you the same story. I try to buy in things that I can sell if I have to, but also very much enjoy myself.

Why do you recommend Tikka or Savage over the Remington. I always thought Remington set the standard for quality bolt actions?

edited to add: I'm not being a smartass I really am curious.
