if you are not looking at buying a "package" gun that includes a scope look into the remington sps. it is a replacement for the remingtonm700 adl, and a fine replacement it is. i also like a savage, especially one with the accu-trigger. if you are looking for a good gun for the money in a "package" look for the mossberg 100atr package. it can be had for less than $300, including a scope.
