[QUOTE="pburton, post: 980757, member: 48978"] This is just my opinion, but, I think a Tikka would be a great rifle for you. I have a couple of them and they all have shot really well. Savage also makes some accurate out of the box rifles well within your price range. I don't have any experience with the TC bolt rifles. If you are only planning on hunting deer out to 500 yards, .308 would be a great caliber. Easy to find decent factory ammo and light recoiling. If you wanted to go 6.5 there are a lot of good options also. .260 rem, 6.5x55, or 6.5x284 that all have factory ammo relatively easy to find. The one thing for sure is that what ever rifle and caliber you decide on you need to take the time at the range to get comfortable with it. Shooting 500 yards sound really easy but I see over half the people at my range that cannot shoot that far with accuracy consistently. Good luck in your search. [/QUOTE]
