[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1483750, member: 12193"] I haven't seen the Weatherby Mark V mentioned here. The Weathermark version is around $1200, weighs 6.25 lbs, and has a nice synthetic stock. The barrel is a bit long for hunting out of a blind (24") but you could have a gunsmith cut it down if you want. Most of these guns will shoot under an inch no problem after a bedding job and trigger adjustment. Most of the good options under $1000 have already been mentioned. Browning or Winchester would be my first choices there. That 5R from Remington is actually not too heavy if you get the 20" barrel. I have shot one of them and its a handy little gun. First day at the range it was shooting 3/4" 5-shot groups with factory ammo. If you have some time on your hands I might suggest buying a Remington Model Seven and having a nice barrel installed. Add a B&C stock and you'd be under $1600 for a decent semi-custom. [/QUOTE]
