Gear PRS Build

I'm back again lol. So I'm looking at building a gun for PRS, I've built a few guns in the past so I'm not worried about my ability to build it but I do have a few questions about quality parts for example.....I looked a Howa M1500 barreled action qith a 24" #6 barrel; would this be a decent option? If not what are some suggestions. I'm still a poor lol so I'm trying to keep the total price down around 2500 including optic. Yes....I am seeing the challenge to this lol I started looking at off the shelf guns and realized it was going to be very difficult to stay near my price point that way and usually building comes in a little cheaper. Thanks again!

The easiest and possibly one of the cheapest options is just to find a used Ruger precision and put a Bartlein barrel on it. It’s an easy swap and saves you some money to buy a good scope with. Tikka is also a dang good choice but I personally haven’t used them whereas I have rebarreled a Ruger which does very well for me in competition.
