If you could find a Remmy 700 LVSF in 308 or 7mm08 and then top it with the new SHV F1 it would be very very hard to beat.

Had the Extreme Weather SS. It feels more like a custom rifle than a off the shelf production gun. I would rate the Winchester MOA trigger as the best factory trigger I've ever felt. For the money, this is the gun.

I'd buy a $2500 pistol

Spend $500.00 on the rifle and $2,000.00 on the scope.

A Zeiss Daivari V will whip any NF in the low light department, no questions asked.
Hell it will whip em all.
Its the best low light scope on the market.

You asked for an MOA capable rifle.
Id counter with MOA at range?
Most hunting range, most any will do. Its personal preference.

Because at the end of the day you are shooting factory ammo.
So a custom rifle is money wasted.
Cuz thats like trying to run reg unleaded gas in a Ferrari.

Theres my long answer.

I put a Vortex PST on my Win mod 70 XW 300 winmag. Common off the shelf setup for what you're looking for. Not much recoil for round either.

Savage rifle plus a best scope & mounts with the money left over.

Spot on! With factory ammo, every rifle is a gamble, although within 200 yards most will do just fine.........but then why would you want a custom rifle to shoot at ranges that most any rifle will do?
