Default RE: Whats a good rifle that wont put a dent the size of the grand canyon in my wallet

I'd take a Savage any day. You might also want to see about Remington 700 ADL and Winchester Model 70 Black Shadow. I doubt that you'd be disappointed with any one of these.

There's a lot of controversy out there regarding the Remington 710. After much thought, I decided that I do not care for them. They reportedly are very accurate, but I sure don't trust all the plastic they put in places where I am accustomed to seeing steel. This is one rifle where you have to take a close look and make up your own mind based on what your needs and shooting habits are. Some guys swear by them, I'm just not one of them.

If you can find a used rifle in good shape you might get a great deal too, just be careful that you know what to look for. Here's a link you might find helpful:
