Was actually able to find a few of the models I was looking and after comparing the Tikka T3x and Christensen Arm Mesa I decided to go Tikka T3x in 7mm-08 the money I'll be saving i can put some good glass on it and put a limbsaver on it. Any other accessories I should be looking at?
It is simple:
1) Spend the money on the best optic that you can.
2) If recoil is too much, then do a Limbsaver and/or brake (if the increase in noise does not bother you).
3) If there's money left over, get handloads developed for it.
4) Take a few one-on-one training sessions.
Shoot the rifle and see how it shoots. Some folks do upgrades because they want to and not necessarily because they need to. If the rifle doesn't shoot, sell it and buy another. Rinse and repeat until you get one that shoots well. You won't be out all that much money. But you can spend all the money on a rifle and its "required" upgrades and still have one that does not shoot all that well (assuming a competent shooter). Good luck recouping your total cost, or near it, as only a fool will pay $1500+ for a Tikka.
I have not seen a trigger manufacturer provide a guarantee of X percent increase in accuracy. I have not seen a grip manufacturer provide a guarantee of X percent increase in accuracy. I have not seen a stock manufacturer provide a guarantee of X percent increase in accuracy. The only guarantee that you have with these upgrades is a lighter wallet.
I have two T3Xs (6.5 CM and 300 WM) and both shoot well under 0.5 MOA (bipod with rear rest just like I hunt). Both use handloads and have no aftermarket upgrades.
Many people would be better served taking some one-on-one shooting classes than doing these upgrades. This is applicable to myself. Nothing like having all your flaws captured on video and pointed out one by one. It is humbling but extremely enlightening.
