[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1378247, member: 70559"] Just barely over your budget is a used Weatherby Mark V ultralight six lug. I bought a .25-06 and a .270 Win. Since I had so much success with Tasco I suggest put on a World Class 4-16X40 until you can afford something better for low light. After you get your rifle you start saving again for a stock. It's taken me a few years now, but my .270 now has a Proof Research (28oz). The factory stock weighs 36oz. Both rifles sport a Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50 (22oz) in Talley lightweight rings. The other has a Pac-Nor barrel and a Pendleton Stock (21oz). The idea is EVERY WEEK you have to put away $10-$20 away in an envelope. It is not an emergency fund. When it goes into the envelope, it is GONE[B]![/B] When you get ready to buy a scope get ready to spend a couple hours on bing or google. I was able to get two scopes at twenty bucks over cost from new dealers trying to get started. It was a couple years between the two scopes and not the same dealer. But I invested a couple hours and saved a couple hundred both times. [/QUOTE]
