I've got an itch for a new rifle. Thinking .223 because I already reload for it. I'm looking or a bolt action. It would be used for paper punching, and varmints maybe. I'd like to work up to distances as far as 500 yards or so if I can. My budget right now is ~$500 for the rifle. Am I limited to just Ruger American, Predator, Savage Axis and Axis II ? What else should I be looking at ? What would another $100 get me ?
FWIW I own a Ruger American in .243, also own a Winchester M70, and a Remington 700 so I'm not really partial to any specific manufacturer.
