Get an APR then buy a Swarovski Z3 with BRH reticle and Warne rings. I vote 270

For the suppressor, I would recommend the Q Thunder Chicken. It is super quiet and light. I've shot it next to my brothers .308 w/ a Sig can and it has my .300wm almost as quiet as his .308 shooting factory ammo. POI shift is also minimal. That will run you at least $1150.
For the rifle, based off of your budget, I would take a look at the Browning X-bolt Hell's Canyon line. I have one in 300wm. It was a little finicky with ammo at first, but I have a reload that is holding it right at an MOA. I believe it is available in both of the calibers that you are looking at. I would take the 7mag over the .270Comment

How about a Bergara Ridge in 270? It’s a threaded barrel sub MOA rifle.
Rifle $700
Base $80 (Seekins Precision)
Rings $50-120
Scope $300 minimum.
This is what I would do if I was looking at this set up

$1000 for a suppressor...I would recommend a Omega.
$1000 for a decent scope.
Leaves you $1000 to $1500 for a rifle....
If your going with 7mm mag or 280ai which are wonderful calibers your going to need a 24” barrel to get the most out of that caliber....add a 6” to 8” can on there and it’s going to be crazy long to try to hunt with. Personally I would forget the suppressor and put that money towards the rifle. Or build a 7-08 or 308 at 20” which is all the barrel you need for those calibers and then use your suppressor.Comment

Solid suggestion right here. Not belt on the case to worry about if you reload. Great overall round.

Just bought that scope, great choice I love mine. For the suppressor I went with the Omega because of length and all around versatility. With your budget I would look at a Browning X Bolt. I also have a Weatherby Vangaurd that gets the call most of the time for Elk. If you go to $4K you might consider a Christenson Ridgeline. Of the Calibers you listed I’d go with the 7 mag for sure. 270s kill Elk but not near as well as a 7 mag especially at 500 yards.

Also my opinion is for an Elk gun I stay away from Customs. My reason is at 500 yards my $500 gun is just as effective and I don’t have to hold back tears if I scrape it up busting through the brush.

He said it was a Barrett Fieldcraft. I just looked it up and it’s more than I thought it was. May still fit his budget though.

Bergara HMR in whatever caliber you want. These retail at 1100 but if you find a dealer willling to negotiate I paid 900 out the door for mine and have shot it out to 1100 yards.
Vortext scope 1300
Rings and rail 300
I missed budget by couple hundred but thats my set up and I like it.
Atlast bipod 300
Half nelson suppressor made by Q 750
I missed budget by couple hundred but thats my set up and I like it. Could always leave off the bipod and add it later.Comment
