Buy recommendations Long range rifle

Hey all
Looking for a long range rifle and need help from people that know more than me about it. So I am thinking about 6.5 creedmoor or 338 lupa. I will probably not fire more than 2000 yards so think the 6.5 should be good any help would help. My budget is 8-15 for rile and scope feel free to send what you think you would buy
Thanks
Brad

8-15 hundred or thousand? If your budget is 15k I'd say grab something like the Cadex Kraken and a nice piece of glass.

Been looking at Cadex have you shot them?

I've got a full custom with a Cadex action. They're extremely nice, they are in the same category as AI.

The Kraken is a multi-caliber system, so you can just buy another bolt face and barrel from Cadex and change calibers down the road. Same idea as the AI AXSR.

If you end out going with 338LM and the Kraken, and you want to stay with 338LM, it will be a good system for you to change the barrels as needed since 338LM is a hot round. Cadex can also spin up a custom barrel for their other actions from the serial number that will have the correct headspacing.
