Check out Remington's web site they sell "varmint" calibers in the model 700 that would be in your price range...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

For the price you're looking for, try "Savage". The quality and accuracy coupled with the price is unbeatable! Super accurate guns. I'm sure I'm not the only one here with that opinion.

You can goto Walmart and buy a Savage package that includes the gun, bore sited scope, and sling for under $400. You can buy a Rem 700 for about the same price, but you get the gun only.
I've heard a lot of good things about Savage rifles from more than one source. This along with the hard to beat price is why I just bought one.

For that cheap, either find a slightly used rem or win. or ruger. Or, you can get a new ruger m77 mark II for that cheap, but if you want the best deal for that kind of money, I'd go with a savage 110 or 111 in whichever caliber you like. You can probably find one at wally world for that little that already has a 4x glass on it, it won't be a great scope, but it's enough to get started on a budget. Try looking around with other local hunters first though, they might know of someone who treated their rifle like a child and is willing to part with one of them, it happens, I got a 1894 Spanish mauser that looked like it was only a year old like that, too bad my girlfriend claimed it right after I got it though.

$400 will get you a Savage 12FV or 10FP. Either one of these will get the job done. There's a couple of things you will have to do to get the Savages to shoot. One is the trigger, the worst factory trigger bar none. Second, the tupperware stock so-called pillar bedding. A little bedding here will work wonders. Third, the bores are usually rough it takes a while to break them in. A little extra work and you have a .3 moa factory rifle. Not bad for a $400 rifle.
