N/A Help me make a poor financial decision:)

I think to get what you’ve listed is going to mean two rifles. I say that because to get one gun that does all of those things is going to mean a lot of compromises and less capability. A hunting rifle with multiple barrels can be a good hunter but not as good a comp gun. Different weights, sizes and features. My hunting and carry guns are very different from my comp guns. lighter, smaller and quicker handling. Comp rifles are heavier, bigger, slower to shoot and I wouldn’t want to have to carry one all day. The good news is that you can get well built and beautifully crafted guns for both.

is there a specific model you might recommend? Not sure who Martin is tbh, but finding a coveted older rifle with a coveted stock and tuning sounds difficult to find…
Martin Rutterford is the creator of RAW rifles which are an offshoot of Theobens in the UK. He manufactured them here in the USA for years then sold the rights to Air Force and they are still being made. Martin is still in business as airguns-usa.com and does custom work. I recommend an HM1000x either full length or the Mini with a 15 inch barrel.
 
Your best bet to truly find what your looking for is to take some time either arizona or utah and test some airguns first hand and see what you like the most. You already have a relatively large budget, why not make sure you make the best choice?
I’d love to do this. I have a sibling in AZ I could visit anyway. But where can I rent/test high end air guns like an Alpha Wolf?
 
If I was in your shoes with your requirements I’d buy a ghost and have a custom wood stock made for it. Or wait for them to release one with a wood stock.

Why a Ghost as opposed to an Alpha wolf? just curious

While I don’t mind electronic rifles, I really enjoy mechanical ones. I like hearing things happen and working on them. So if it’s one rifle, I’d go mechanical.
I’m still saving slowly in hopes they update the Red Wolf to a new rifle or just the current electrics. But it won’t be my only rifle. I get so much satisfaction out of shooting my CZ200’s, I can’t see myself not having that.
