It was a wake-up call but I've shot an m14-E2 and from what I can remember the .284 was not as exciting, it's been long gone though :O(

take care,

All told, that's under $2300, if you put it together yourself, which isn't that hard to do. Hell, now that it's out, I'd get a Premier Reticle's Gen 2 Mil-dot (Part #: 51182G) version of that Leupold scope instead, for $803. It's a better reticle, and it's in the first focal plane.

You can still add a Mil-Dot Master for $29.95, a Starlight Case (Part #: SC-061352) for $230, a Bore Tech Bore Stix (Part #: BSTX_7344_00) for $35.55, and a Bore Tech Patch Guide (Part #: BTPG_2100_00) for $44.95 for an additional $340, and still be more than $2000 under your $5000 price tag, which you can put towards plenty of Black Hills 175 Gr. Match HP ammunition and steel targets.

You could buy a new stainless steel match barrel for $270.00, have the action trued for $50.00, and have your new barrel chambered and installed for $270.00 if you want the rifle's accuracy to go from minute-of-angle to half minute-of-angle.

If you wanted to - and I haven't yet - you could replace the aluminum trigger guard with a Badger Ordnance steel trigger guard (Part #: 306-02) for another $315.00.

All that, and it's still $1000 less than your $5000 target price.
