You could try Rock River Arms I sure like mine. I have 20" Varmint and 20" Predator, both are great shooters. Look on Gunbrokers.com

I bought a DPMS 24" varmint upper for that very reason hopefully in the next year or so. I haven't put a lot of effort into it, but so far it likes about every load I've put through it.

Re: varmint upper
To stay under budget I'd suggest building your own. The thing to focus on is the barrel. Fortunately there's quite a few barrel options at pretty good prices, and I'd start with Rainier. You can also keep the cost down if you're transitioning your BCG from one upper to another, just watch that it still headspaces OK and you're fine.
Your budget isn't far off of what Scott at Specialized Dynamics could put together for you, and he is known to build some of the best varmint setups around. If you want a shooter, give him a call.

I just ordered a 6.8 upper from him a few weeks ago. He's a great guy to deal with. He replied to the millions of questions I had and from what I've seen so far, he's top notch. I'd definitely give him a call about an upper.

Re: varmint upper
the DPMS has great reviews on midway... i had one a few years back and it would do under a inch at 200y
