I would go with a Savage also for your budget, they are reliable and accurate. The model 110, or the model 111, which I think is basically the newer improved version of the 110. Stick with the .30-06. My local Wally world has the 110's on sale now for $299, and that's for the package gun. The 111's will cost you a little more.<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>
