Re: Good and Low Budget??
Pick yourself up a good bolt action .22LR, good rings and a decent scope. Buy some ammo ,and shoot the shit out of it. And before they eat you up, fill out your profile. The search function on here is pretty basic, use this instead. http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=010955838166721108978:qcbx5qqy10o&hl=en

Re: Good and Low Budget??
Stevens 200 is by far the best bang for the buck in my opinion. Here is what I did with my brother's rifle for just very little money.

Best bang for the buck:
Stevens in 308 $200-$300
EGW 20moa base $45.00
Vortex 6-24x50 $99.00
Decent rings $25-50.00
Then get into hand loading. Then modify as you can afford it. PM me for more info on any of this.
Good luck,
Merritt

Hi,
you'll get more responses when you fill out your profile. But look at Savage. They make some pretty nice "budget" long range or Tactical rifles.

Remington 700 SPS with a stock change, or a 700P. Good rings and a base are a must and don't shy on an optic.

There's a pretty substantial difference between the SPS and 700P. The 700P's come out of the factory with an accuracy guarantee I believe. The SPS can be hit or miss. Granted, more "hit" than miss.
