You have $6,000 to spend on a rifle and optic - what would you get and why?

The one on the tripod.
Though I did just about spend that on my 22lr build I just finished.....

tell ya what - I'll save you the aggravation - send me the funds and I'll experiment/test some different guns and optics and when I find the perfect 6K combo I'll send it your way - postal paid.

It's way to easy to spend $6k on almost everything and anything now.
My vote is for an American Air Arms EVOL 15" .22 with a March F 4.5-28x52. Add some Seekins scope rings and MDT LRA SendIt MV3 level if you haven't completely blown your budget yet. Maybe add on a MagPul PRS stock and ERGO grip.

I would never spend 6k on any rifle. If I did spend that much it would be on vintage guns that would eventually increase in price. For 6k I could buy three or four.

If my wife wanted to spend $6K on a rifle for me, I would request a Thomas set up for FT and Benchrest, with an 8-80x March Majesta High Master scope on top. With that combo I would have to pony up some additional cash to make up the difference!

This cost me about 5K, a FX Crown with a Saber chassis and a 2K Trijicon 5-50 red/green scope and a lot of extras in and out

I have so many scopes laying around I do not need to buy any, so I'll have almost 5 grand leftover for other things.

I don’t know much about them but from what I found on the internet, apparently each one is custom hand made to customers specs, etc…I just love the traditional rifle looks and think they are just beautiful, I’m ready to pull the trigger on the xl25 model I think it’s cool how they have the side magazines along with the rotary mag to get 25 shots

I have the scopes already.
So I'd commission an airgun smith with extensive machining experience to make a 100 to 200 fpe pcp slug gun with all my cool ideas integrated into what I consider the ultimate rifle.
Which would be the chassis and action machined out of one piece of aluminum. Yes out of the box thinking and over built to the max.
The action's bolt would be like a Anschutz 1827F Biathlon 22rf in feel and nature.
The rifle would be a repeater that takes single stack stick magazines similar to the 1911 pistol.
On top of the action would be the integral Picattiny scope mount.
Barrel attachment via threaded interface to accept a threaded Bartlein barrel fastened by a barrel nut system.
The rear of the chassis would be set up for AR-15 buffer tube and furniture.
The underneath of the forend of the chassis would have a Arca rail the full length ending at a barricade stop by the trigger guard, M LOK slots cut for weights and other attachments at the sides of the forend.
It'd be way more than $6000 though.

Maybe a Daystate Red Wolf Safari in 25 or a RTI Prophet with 22 and 25 caliber barrels - not sure which. Probably the Prophet. It's cheaper, lighter, and shorter. I guess I could get used to the lever being on the left.
Add a thermal scope and a decent optical scope and you could spend $6K. But I'd struggle to spend that much.

I would be shopping for more of the now obsolete Leupold 6.5-20EFR scopes. I would get one of each of the Wiehrach springers.
