Wanting a new "Everything cartridge/Rifle under $1500"...Thoughts?

[TexanHunter]

So I got the itch to buy a new rifle. Looking for a Do all or more of a big game like elk and bear but can also use on small Texas whitetail. I've been eyeing a 7mm-08 but cant find a decent ultralight rifle available. Other round I've been considering is the .308 or possibly 7prc. If you were looking for a new do all rifle under $1500 what caliber and rifle would you choose?

Do you want a rifle that you buy off the shelf and leave it as is or will you want to upgrade it and change stocks? Suppressor? Muzzle brake?

Add suppressor eventually. Mostly stock.

Tikka T3X from Eurooptic, put in a Manners, Mcmillan or Rokstock

Yea t3x

T3x roughtech super lite on @EuroOptic, I would got 6.5cm but pick what ever flavor you like, take the 500 left and buy a trijicon Huron 2-10 or a Swfa 3-9, grab some solid rings and go shoot stuff

Hard to beat a Tikka t3x right now. But savage just dropped their new 110 core line. A core trailblazer in 25 creed... hard to say no to...

That Tikka T3x ultra lite 6.5 prc in the classified is what I would be looking at.
scope would be a nightforce SHV for around that same price.

I would take a close look at the browning xbolts. They are better quality than tikka imo.

Another vote for tikka. I like 280 AI for an all around cartridge as well. Similar ballistics to the magnums with a more manageable recoil

Exactly this.
