Thread: $5k plus rigs, what do you have? Favour?

On the infamous MD Poll thread re distance of last killing shot I asked @whanahuia:
"On the off chance I might one day be in the mood to spend that sort of money, what was the rig you bought?"

I'm asking from a perspective that MD would possibly applaud, when he's reinstated of course - my minimal larger game hunting experience has mostly been in the 50 -120m range with the occasional foray to 220m..this reflects my decidedly limited field experience as well as my kit which tends to feature older 2nd hand wood and blue rifles and mid-level or cheaper projectiles..however I have slowly been creeping up. Over the last few.years I've moved slowly from Iron sights to optics with my "best" being 3-9x40 in either pre-owned Leupolds, or Fullfield IIs, plus a couple of Vortex Crossfire IIs.

I do have a couple of rifles in 270Win and 308 that are capable of a lot better. So next step is a better scope and range practice to be able to hit the gong at 300+m.

I'm guessing there are plenty like me out there who will probably never go further because we already have what it takes to fill the freezer or get the odd trophy. But, just in case, it would be interesting to hear what others would spend around that $5-6k mark on if acquiring a complete rig.

Let's hear it.

PS. The question is not "what's best", rather what you liked enough to buy.
