I was shooting wobble one time with a guy with a new SR. It disassembled itself in the course of that round.

Stoegers also have a less than a stellar rep.

Were I trying to do as the OP is, I'd look for a used SKB, Winchester 101, elderly Citori,etc.

When I got my Beretta 686 White Onyx Sporter (quite a mouthful,huh?), it was $1725 out the door. I spent way more than that on loading components that year.

There were a few very minor probs with that 686. All ironed out now and after about 30K rounds, it shoots well.

I'm about to turn 66. I doubt I'll wear it out......
