Also what size/brand scope for said deer rifle? I've heard people say the glass is just as important as the rifle and am wondering what I should expect to pay for a decent scope.

Edited to add: anyone have any experience with the weatherby vanguard synthetic rifles, this is one I've been looking at.

Savage has a good combo you can buy with the scope included close to that price.

I like a good remington 700, but savage is one of the most accurate rifles out of the box made today. And the accu trigger is a nice feature

Bump for thoughts on which magnification scope should I be looking at? Also, do the differences between a $200 scope and a $400-500 scope justify a two-fold increase in cost?

much more important. All modern rifles will shoot decent groups with a little practice. For the money the Remington 700 is a hard gun to beat..A plain one or a slightly used one should be in the $500 range.. Honestly, my scopes cost much more than my rifles. Definitely buy the best scope that you can afford..
