Leupold 3.5-10x40
Spend the rest of your money on buying a ton of bullets and powder, and become a surgeon out to 500 yards with it.

I'd hang pics of what a bone-stock 700 7 Remmie does at 500 yards, but that'd be rude.



I'd do either what Tanner suggested and or go with a 70EW/300WSM with a McMillan Hunter Edge compact wrapped around it. Or a 270 WSM or a 7 WSM as I'm not sure if the 70EW comes in these rounds.
