[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1005754, member: 229"] On a budget I'm starting to look more at the Howa and Tikka Rifles lately. If you plan on upgrading it later, look at a Remington (and search the long-gun forum here for "long range" - you'll learn plenty). If you plan on upgrading it, don't spend extra money on an upgraded Remington (unless you plan on getting a 5R Milspec). I did and the barrel I got was fairly useless in my SPS Varmint out at 300-350yds (of course, I didn't know nearly as much about how to properly shoot as I do now, so to be fair, some of that could have been me). If I were to do it again, I'd do it like I did my son's rifle and get the cheapest ADL skinny barrel rifle and upgrade the barrel, recoil lug and stock (you can get a Remington 700 for around $350-$400 used and a Hart barrel for $300 and a Bell Carlson stock for $200). If you're on a budget, get a Warne 20MOA base and some Burris XTR rings and either a Bushnell Elite 3200 or 4200 adjustable or an SS scope in fixed 16x (provided you don't plan on doing any sub-100yd shooting with this rifle).
