[QUOTE="trebark, post: 414286, member: 19172"] Don't leave out the Remington 700. You can pick up a Rem700 Varminter in 308 for $479 at Dick's. This rifle would meet virtually all your criteria. It's within your budget (with room to spare), it has a 26" heavy varmint barrel (.820 at the muzzle), the 308 gives long barrel life (3000+ rounds), 308 ammo is readily available in a multitude of factory offerings and reloading gear is easy to get. Also you can shoot varmints with a 308 as far as you can see (well past your perameter of 600 yards) and it's an effective deer cartridge. I've done it....
