i agree with sheridan and magman, i picked up a ruger american in 270 and its an awesome gun, very accurate, reasonable weight, good fit and function. Its not as nice fit/finish wise as some of the higher priced guns but in my mind thats a plus...i wont be kicking myself for dinging it up. Ruger american with some really nice glass and you have your 700-900 spent and youre done.

i have a 308 savage axis and love it! it is a decent price so you will have enough for a good scope and other things you might need! I highly recommend it. It isn't extremely heavy, feels nice, and is just awesome. although mine didnt have the accutrigger (something i really wanted) so i would recommend that too.

On that budget, Styer Pro Hunter SBS (Safety Bolt System) "Mountain". Going for $799 or a tad less NIB down this way. Has a 20" barrell, a stock that can be adjusted to 3 lengths of pull by removing spacers. Excellent safety system. It is on the pricey side of the factory rifles, but I cannot imagine any being any better a shooter. I have several others ... have helped sight in many otehrs .... too many to mention. I have 2 Styers .... 30.06 Spr. and 308 Win. Both have a very good trigger. Excellent accuracy. I have hunted with mine in -30F(dang Montana !!!) to 100F (dang SE Alabama!). I have had zero issues with mine and highly recommend this rifle.
Having said that I bought my niece a Browining AB-II and my grand daughter a Ruger American in 270 Win. Neither is fsancy, but both shot great. Lot less $$$ !!

How the rifle fits you. Trigger pull. Action and stock fit. Forget who made the gun think about who's using the gun. They'll all shoot to a point for hunting purposes. Everything else costs money. If the gun shop won't let you pull the trigger find a new gun shop to deal with.
