Check out the top site for new, and the other 2 underneath for used options. Personally, I'd stick with something in the Savage other than the Axis. A Savage 110 or a 11 is the cheapest way to go, but there will be other variants. Don't ignore the Ruger American or the Marlin Xls series. Journeyman guns at a real competitive price. If going used though you just might snag a Remington or a Winchester in your price range if you don't mind a nick or scratch or two (without glass). Cosmetics are overrated, but a gun with a bunch of surface damage has probably not been cared for. Pay attention to the functioning of the bolt, the magazine and the condition of the bore/barrel.
