My budget is what it takes, suitable for purpose.
Don’t intend to go high end, as I will never use this firearm as much as my pistols, .22s, & AR.
I don’t seek good looks, stainless steel, composite/checkered expenses, etc. Function rules.
I just want lead downrange on-target in the 300+ yd range.
Go with the Remington 700 recomneded by the other posters. Nikon is one of the biggest optics manufactureres in the world. I'm not specifically familiar eith their scopes, but they should be just fine. You might want to consider thermal or NV 2+G or 3g if you have the wherewithall.
