Put MOST of your budget into the scope, bases & rings.
Once you look/handle a few of them, tell us which you are considering ?
+1. I would be more apt to flip your budget. $1000 scope and $400 gun (or something close) That really opens your options for both unless you're looking for a wall hanger gun. I put a Zeiss Conquest on a TC Venture in 7mm mag last year for around $900 total. MOA guarantee, fits well, and shoots well.
