thanks for the welcome. umm....im gessing i could spend up to about 600-650. What are some good models around this price range? i like the idead of a wood stock (which i think usually raises the price somewhat), but it is not necessary. I would like it to be either black, synthetic camo or wood, they will all work. Are there major differences between a, lets say, $300 270 opposed to a 650$ gun? if so, what are the differences. Im just trying to get a idea of what rifle is good for the money.

thanks again
