Success! Work buddy wants the 700 Target Tactical now. Another note... he is moving to Hawaii. I recommended he get the rifle BEFORE he goes. This is a bad state for firearms, but the CW is Hawaii is worse. You need a permit to purchase or transfer ANYTHING it looks like. He'll need to register his rifle when he arrives.
I am in a bit of a sticker shock on that model and I don't know why it's price is so high. I am used to perusing the $700 left hand rifles, and wonder why THAT one is $2k. It's not a $1300 stock, right?
He may settle for, and be happy with, a Remington 700 VTR, instead. $800 for the rifle, $400 for the Leupold scope. Plenty of goodness to settle into. By the time he shoots the barrel out he'll know what $6000 rifle he wants.
And, my work here is done.

I have a Rem 700 SPS Varmint that I took to Boomershoot this year. Out of the box (well, with a 4.5-18x54 on it) it shoots .5MOA
I paid $475 after the $75 Remington rebate earlier this year. You really can't beat that!
Tell him to get as much practice with his chosen Ammo as possible, and buy a LOT of it before he heads out there. Since damn near everything has to be shipped in, he needs to realize that Ammo is EXPENSIVE in Hawaii.
