[QUOTE="ltcjwb, post: 1281914, member: 59196"] I think Roninflag hit it square on the head. If you choose the Rem 700 SPS Varmint, at under $800, you have the advantage of a 26" barrel, which will give you a bit of extra muzzle velocity. A good scope for under $500? Several of them, i have found the Nikons to be good, and Nikon's SpotOn balistics program is quite good. For factory ammo, there are lots of choices; Hornady's 100 Gr. American Whitetail shows a MV of 2960 at sea level, with over 2000 fps and 1000 lbs/ft of energy at 350 yards. This will likely be slightly better in the 26" barrel, and could be significantly better if you live at higher altitude. If you don't like the stock, you can get a Boyd's laminate for under $150.
