Need help deciding on a new rifle 6.5 CM

Picked up a CTR in 6.5 and 24 inch barrel.

Will start to slowly build the gun. Was thinking about a Vortex® Viper PST Gen II for the scope? And maybe buying a chassis for the gun right away. Any suggests on the scope and chassis would be apricated. Budget for the scope will be around 1500.

I like the Strike Eagle 5-25 in that price range. You can also find good options from Athlon and Arken inside your budget. Either way, illuminated reticles, FFP, zero stops, good turrets, and MRAD are on the table for you with that budget.

I like the Strike Eagle! Have a 1-8 for my 5.56.
 
No complaints with my gen 2 PST, love the reticle, and they're reliable with good glass in that price range. You should take also a close look at the Delta Javelin. It's a little cheaper than the PST, "only" 10yr warranty vs lifetime, the reticle choices are limited, but it is essentially identical to the Athlon Ares ETR which (to my eyes) is a little better glass than the PST.
Just another option to consider in that price range.
 
Now that the fire has arrived! i would like to know if anyone has suggestions on muzzle breaks and aftermarket stocks?
 
Insite arms Heathen brake is always a good choice. The new MDT Comp brake looks nice, never used one though.
What are you going to use the rifle for?
 
I have the XRS and love it. I think the ACC might be better overall, however the aluminum gets soo cold compared to the plastic outer of the XRS.
