If you had $2500 for an Alberta hunting rifle...
If you had $2500 for a single rifle to hunt Alberta with what would it be. No optics. Just a rifle for Alberta hunting that comes in under $2500. Doesn't have to be practical. Just something you like. The only catch is you have to give a link to the rifle.
I don't have $2500 burning a hole in my pocket, but if I did this is the one I'd be ordering in the morning...

Not so nice you'd be scared to drag it through the bush, but nice enough for the boys to look at it and say "damn!"
This is just a timekiller of a thread, written solely out of curiosity to see what other guys like. That's all.

You can get a great used rifle, close to what your after for far less than $2500.00. Don’t throw your cash away!!

Nice rifle, but $2400 is getting up there for a factory rifle.

Exactly what I did with a doner Remington action, built a beautiful 6.5 x 284 great shooter and no one has the same rig. Custom barrel, custom stock, aftermarket trigger.. Also bout $1800.00.

Only put 16 rounds through mine so far, but it seems promising.

I'd run with the one I had built last month...
It ain't the diamond rifle, but it ain't no lump of coal either.
Smooth LH bolt and deadly accurate...

For $2500 I would probably pick up a Bergara Highlander in .280AI for 500-750$ less than the $2500. (USA MSRP is $1850)
Unfortunately in Alberta I couldn't bring my suppressor so I'll just stay here in Montana and Wyoming. lol

Easy!
Mannlicher schoenauer 1950-53, full stock carbine with DST, iron sights and Claw mounts in 7x64.
And I'm done!
One of the best rifles ever made and cash to spare.

I honestly don’t think I have a rifle younger than fifty years old, and I cannot think of a new off-the-rack rifle that I’d spend that kind of money on.
I’d probably track down another really nice commercial FN or L61R SAKO.
