[QUOTE="1SevenZero, post: 680170, member: 51825"] Used Savage w/ Heavy or Varmint barrel and accutrigger. I'm thinking you'll have to get used to heavier recoil if you want to bring down elk at 500, but someone wiser can chime in on that. [COLOR=darkorange]Reasonably priced, you can tune the trigger to a lighter pull, good barrels. Additionaly the action by design doesn't require the precision machine work other actions do for long range accuracy. Glass bed the stock yourself for cheap. [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Scope wise I'm a fan of the Vortex Viper series with a mildot reticle. [/COLOR][COLOR=darkorange]Reasonable price, great optics quality, and no questions lifetime warranty. [/COLOR] EGW 20 MOA HD scope base. As for rings I like serial numbered matched set rings. I went Seekins,but there are definitely cheaper options. I also prefer aluminum over steel in these components for weight savings. This combo should fall under your price range. [/QUOTE]
