When it came to my money, I choose a Christensen Arms Ridgeline, I now have three and one MPR. The best "improved" rem 700 clone I could find. They all wear McMillan stocks now, still within your friends budget. However, for that money, I'd build from the ground up starting with a Defiance or just buy an Oregon Mountain Rifle titanium, still within his budget.
