While you're shopping, take a look at the Tikka T3's. They are great quality guns at a very reasonable price. They are guaranteed and tested to shoot a sub-1" 5 shot group at 100 yards at the factory. The action is very well made and glass smooth, and both the wood and composite stocks are good quality. The trigger is user adjustable down to 2lbs, and it is very crisp and clean with the least creep I've ever felt in a factory trigger with the exception of Tikka's big brother, Sako. The gun also has dovetails machined into the receiver so it doesn't need bases and comes with scope rings. It also includes sling swivels, but they aren't as good as the quick detachable sling swivels most of us are used to.

You should be able to pick one up for between $500-575 depending on the configuration, and if you look you can get them for better than that. I just brought home a T3 Lite in .300WSM that was clearanced at Scheel's for the great price of $429, with a regular price of $499.
