I would recommend a Tikka, about $800, and make a couple upgrades.
New stock, $600 (I just put an AG stock on a Tikka)
New barrel with 1:8 twist, $400-$900 (steel vs CF)
I have shot eldx and ABLR out of my 7mm tikka. But I have an aftermarket barrel. Regardless, I don’t think one tikka will group identically to another. For what it’s worth, the AB was less accurate out of my gun.

Lee (owner of OMR) has been really helpful in guiding me on my upgrade...
We were scheduled for late Sept - Early October in BC. I spoke this the guide last week, and he didn't think there was any chance of the border opening. He is allowing us to roll our deposits forward to 2021. I hope the Outfitters can survive a year without guiding...
I don’t have any inside knowledge on this, as I haven’t tried to cancel/reschedule with our guide yet. But I don’t expect 2021 hunters will be bumped to a later year to make room for 2020 cancelations. I think outfitters will fill 2021 out with the 2020 hunters that wish to rebook, offer...
