as others have said, i would look at the Savage package. For under $400 you get a great rifle that will last and has one of the best reputations for accuracy. I was in the same boat as you a few years back and bought one myself. It's now my go to rifle. right out of the box it was almost dead on. Shot a group of 3 within 1.6 inches at 100 yds. And i still think part of that was my fault. But even if it wasn't that is damn good.
