Get the best deal on a scope you can find, then figure out what rifle fits the rest of the budget. Tikka will be a shooter for sure. The others probably will be as well (my berg is), but spend money on your optic and Jew it for the next rifle. Hate having a half moa rifle with a 2 moa optic or one that doesn’t track

My Tikka T3x TAC A1 in 6.5-CM is a tack-driver ... and a great value. The chassis style is perfect for bench shooting. Get the Mountain Tactical bag-rider to go with it.

True Dat ... sell something on eBay that your wife owns, and spend at least $2K on each ... rifle and optic.

You’re not going to get much of a bench rifle for that much on those platforms.

And you’re not going to be that competitive in 6.5 creed.

Buy a savage bench of fclass gun in 6br and have fine with it as it comes.
Or save up for something good.
