[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1049067, member: 12995"] For a $600 budget, the 700 Varmint or a used 700P would be about the only guns I could see in that price range. By the time you upgrade the stock, you're looking around $900... The trigger will need to be upgraded anyway, unless you get a 700P that has the old style trigger in it, in-which case you won't have to swap it out, just have a professional tune it. But for your $900 you're planning on spending, I'd stick another $200 on that budget and just get one of these...
