Watch for a Remington 700 or Model 7 in a .17 Remington or .17 Fireball to come up for sale. They actually come up quite often and are usually reasonably priced- I've seen them in the $500-$700 range several times... or you could always pick up a Remington ADL or Ruger in .223 ... should easily fit into your budget if you are patient on shopping, but by time you add in threading the muzzle for suppressor and the cost of the suppressor and tax stamp, you're crowding yourself pretty tight with your budget requirements.... and you haven' t included the cost of a scope yet...
