price range?

Browning A-Bolt (rifle itself will be right at $1000)
Weatherby Vangaurd (about $500, can get a combo with a Bushnell Scope, case, and strap for about $700)
Tikka T3 Lite (about $600)
ETA: Remington 700 is a great gun also.
What caliber are you looking into?

What is the longest shot you can make on your place? And are u going to be there for a while? U shouldn't choose your gun bc of popularity... Although some of the suggestions are good, it may not be ideal for you

A hell of a lot of gun for price. Retails $999 but one can be had for less than $900...
Weatherby Vanguard Sub-MOA

I have a Rem 700 in 30-06, love it. My brother has same gun in 270, half the recoil, love it more. Rem 700 is top notch, not just for the money but at any price. Ruger M-77 is also solid. If I were doing over it probably be 7mm-08 or 270. 7mm-08 has similar performance to 270, similar recoil, and shorter quicker bolt throw. Good Luck.

Just FYI....do not skimp on the scope!!!! Its a shame seeing such a nice rifle and then the guy has a crappy scope and complains about the lack of light gathering or it fogging up. My suggestion is that your not trying to be a Marine Sniper so any guns mentioned will be just fine...its a deer with a large kill zone, but trust me spend money on a quality scope!!!!

get a Rem 700 action, Bell & Carlson Medalist Tactical A5 stock, and your choice of bbl. use the remaining 200-300 for glass. or if youre lazy see if this guy is still selling his frickin Cool Rifle
