Good timing. I am just about to list my pride and joy - a Blaser Tac2 in .338 LM. Here are the details:
Rifle: Blaser Tac2 in .338 Lapua Magnum
Optics: Nightforce ATACR 5-25x56 Zero-stop .25 MOAR
Near MFG 34MM ALPHAMOUNT Scope Rings
Anti-cant device, Bi-pod
Sako TRG muzzle-break

And a photo link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cy4j2mnp6kd1b1w/Tac2 at range V3.jpg?dl=0

I have only put 100 rounds through the barrel. I hate to sell it, but need the $$$.

Let me know if you are interested.

I think the OP already has a 338.

Also, if a mod is not happy with you posting an ad outside EE, you might get your pee-pee slapped.

I'm Looking to build or purchase a new percision long range rifle. I have a budget of $10000.00 excluding the optic. I currently use my PGW Coyote (.308) and PGW Timberwolf (.338LM) for shooting 1000+ yards. I'm thinking the new rifle should be chambered in 6.5 creedmoor. I have been looking at Barrett, Desert Tech and Cadex. Thoughts anyone...

Why not just rebarrel your Coyote? Damn fine set up and with a match barrel will shoot very nicely.

But if you want another rifle, figure out the tasks, what furniture appeals, build it.....

There are some really nicely made "tactical" type rigs... if that suits you, have fun.

I have built a rifle with a 10k budget before just not a prs. I suggest:

Surgeon or Defiance tactical action (maybe Badger). I like Defiance because everything is customized on your order, bolt face, fluting, right or left action with right or left port (yes you can mix them up) and bolt knob.

Krieger or Bartlein barrel. I am partial to single point cut barrels and both manufacturers are top of the line.

Terminator brake. I have lots of different brakes but Terminator is the best in my opinion.

Trigger Tech or Jewel trigger.

McMillian, Manners or for prs maybe a AICS, Cadex or Maybe a Masterpiece arms.

Bipod would be Atlas or maybe Cadex there are others I would try.

Scope rings I would pic spuhr one piece mount. If rings I like Nightforce but also like ATRS which I chose.

Scope would be a Nightforce ( I have a B.E.A.S.T. and love it) Smcidt and Bender or top pick would be a Tangent Theta (mostly because I have never seen one.)

I like Creedmoor but was more partial to the 6.5x47 Lapua but now that Creedmoor is available in small rifle primer I am more open to it. I like the 6mm option a little more also.

Pick a very reputable gunsmith like Insite Arms and you have a winner.
 
I like love my coyote in .308 It shoots 3" groups at 1000yards! Would never change it. I guess I'm taking the easy way out by buying stock rifles mainly because I do not have enough experience to build my own build. So far I am leaning towards the Cadex however I am open to a build if I get the proper advice from experienced CGN' ers. I want a kick ass looking rig with a tactical stock. I want to have 5 or 6 high end rifles in different calibre's. I am extreamlty happy with all my PGW's however I think I'm good with 3. I can mount my Tangent Theda/S&B or Steiner on it. I will consider purchasing a Vortex HD or a Night force as I do not have one yet.

Do you have a picture? How long does it take to have one built?

Everyone is suggesting bolt guns, but any interest in gas? Owner of SJ hardware is selling his KAC SR-25. Sure, probably not going to touch any of the fine bolt guns mentioned, but I think the main takeaway from your posts is that you already have some ultraprecison rifles and just want something different to add to the collection. I can't think of anything more different from what you've already got than an SR25.

Still leaves you some healthy room in the budget in case you want to rebarrel to a heavier profile barrel, different twist, etc to suit your intended projectile.

Then file now too big to post pic. There is a lower resolution pic on the black and green Precision rifle forum.

It took about six months to get all the pieces together but I custom ordered the action and stock. The McMillan stock pushed the build back the most it took six months with the custom coloursI ordered. I imigane it could be done quicker if you get what's available immediately.
 
I'm in Prince Albert Saskatchewan for my kids hockey tournament so I decided to stop in to Arnies Gun and Archery. He has 2 or 3 Cadex stocks. Too bad they are supporting 700 Remington.

If you can find a Cadex dealer with a rifle in stock you will see and feel the workmanship. Good luck in your purchase!
