Sako 85 varmint should relieve u of atleast half your budget
+1Go and see one of the many rifle smiths , have exactly what you want built
is it possible to have a rifle built for as little as £3k?
Sako 75 (donor) 6-700
custom tube (high end) 700-1000
mcmillan stock (or equal) 600+
moderator (your choice) 250-300
bedding and duracoat/blasting 350-500
and some change maybe, depending on who does the work.
you could go remmy but then have to buy decent bottom metal and a trigger, sako is just fine if your happy with 5 shot mag.
have the stock style, barrel weight/twist exactly as you want it
£3k is a bit shy of a full custom to a good spec, from a reputable builder.
