I recently went to my local Gander Mountain and put a Bushmaster Varminter Special on lay away. I have read good reviews on this rifle, it may cost you a little extra cash but not much more. It comes in a 20" barrel and a 24". I got the 24" with a since I am going to be using it on coyotes and what not. You also have the choice of the regular blued barrel or stainless for the same price so I went with staneless.
