You can get a really good .308 for cheap if you go used. A Rem 700 (highly recommended) off the used rack will not break the bank in most situations. The browning BLR is great. A good buddy of mine (ex chief) bought one a couple of years ago and it is reliable, accurate, and expensive IMO. You can also look into the new Mossberg or Marlin bolt actions that give great performance considering their modest "new gun" cost. Like I said though, I think your best bet to get a truely great gun for a good price will come from the used rack. If you are not a "gun guy" just bring somebody in-the-know with you to check it out for proper function and or damage. By the way, the .308 is a fantastic chambering for just about anything from coyotes to caribou. Good luck.
