I am willing to pay 700 for the gun and more for a scope or both for 700. I want to purchase a medium to long range deer rifle. I am thinking a bolt action, synthetic stock with a blued barrel.
Well, that narrows it down some Basically, look around, find what you like,
and take your pick. Blued bolt action rifles with synthetic stocks are available from any
of the major manufacturers (Remington, Ruger, Savage, Sako/Tikka, Winchester).
Again, find one that you like, that "fits" you -feels right for you, and has the features you like.
Recommended cartridges could be 270Win., 270WSM, 280Rem., 7mm-08, 7mmRem.Mag., 30-06, etc. Any of these will do.
Well said Virginia7!!! Personally I'm a Remington fan, but that just me! I would also recommend getting a good scope. Leupold's VX-II line of scopes are great for the money ($259-$400). In my opinion they are the best scopes you can get in this price range! Leupold also has a life time warranty and their customer service is great, and their made in America !
