New guy here. Looking forward to being a part of Hunt Talk nation.
Im looking to build a custom, or semi custom rifle for a MAX budget of $2500 pre optics, I really need to keep it at $2k, for western big game hunting shooting out to probably 600-800 yards max. Calibers being considered; 28 and 30 Nosler, .300 weatherby, .300 PRC. Admittedly, I like hot, fast rounds that not everyone has.
An added caveat is I think I really want a thumbhole stock. My trigger finger lost a fight with a table saw in 2012, and I feel like the thumb hole stock would allow me a better wrist alignment and smoother, straighter pull, although this is just a theory as I’ve never owned one or even held one; I can’t find anyone locally who has one. I’ve got some ideas in mind but I’m curious to hear any input on parts or gunsmiths that you’ve worked with that may be able to help me out. TIA.
