The Remington 552 and Browning are good suggestions. If you can find one (try gunbroker) Weatherby used to sell what looked to me to be a high quality semiauto and if you want to spend some real money a Winchester 63.
The New 552s are nice rifles but have a raised comb which makes their open sights pretty much useless. IMO they're a scope only rifle. The new ones are also around $500 or more. Remington's been making these since the mid 1950s and you can find good used ones for about half that without the raised comb.
