Lets say I wanted to go out and buy myself a nice shiny new rifle and stick a nice shiny new scope on top of it. Lets pretend this would be my only large caliber weapon (It won't be, but lets pretend) and wanted to fill the following criteria.
Reasonable weight and recoil profile. Nice for both hunting and range plinking.
Able to hunt any reasonable sized critter in the lower 48. Coons to pigs to deer.
Ranges out to at least 200 yards, maybe 250 or 300. But at least 200.
Strong preference for bolt action.
Decent scope for the ranges involved.
What is the best rifle in the best caliber with the best scope you can come up with at the best possible price? <$800? <$650? Or can you just not do it for the money involved?
