I'm looking for an all-purpose hunting rifle; whitetail, elk to sheep. Initially, I was going to build a custom rifle off of a TL3 but looking around I don't think I would get the 'investment' back. The three that I am contemplating are; Christensenarms Ridgeline, Kimber Mountain Ascent & Howa 1500 RN addition - all in 6.5 PRC.
I would scope the rifle with either a Leupold VX-5HD or Vortex AMG. On the Howa, I would replace the Leupold VX3i once hunting something other than whitetail.
Any other recommendations in this price range are welcome, including suggestions to continue my TL3 build. Out of the three above, my top choice is the Mountain Ascent due to control round feed, weight and three-position safety.
