Another vote for the Rem 700 SPS. I picked one up at Cabelas a couple of weeks ago for $400 and it had a $50 rebate so now it is down to $350.

The best part is that it is shooting sub 3/4 inch groups with the X Mark Pro trigger, and no bedding work. I checked the action screws, which were tight, mounted a scope and used some reloads developed for a different rifle. Yes, those were 5 shot groups.

I have been able to get the X Mark Pro triggers down to 3 lbs so with a little trigger work and a bit of load development it should be close to a 1/2inch rifle for $350.

Pretty hard to beat for a budget rifle.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
