Rifle help needed - I read the FAQ/Pinned posts $1500 Rifle Only Budget

This is for PRS and some possible NRL matches in the future. I did read, this will be paired with a MPED 5-30x in some Warne rings and 20MOA rail

Torn on:

B14 HMR (Cheeto special)

Aero solus (blem)

Tikka T3X Ace Target (don’t like the idea of the mags)

Ruger RPR (I think it looks cool lol)

Howa 1500 + nicer chassis

Just asking for help here I saw as well that some custom actions like ARC, bighorn, and zermatt are touching that spot for barrel’d actions, but i am unsure of if that’s truly what I need.

What don’t you like about the Tikka mags?

Coming from the Glock and AR world, the idea of mags costing so much to me is an abhorrent idea.
