Be a snob like me and spend the money on a Weatherby Accumark, a grand without the scope.

I haven't seen any in a while but the local Wal-Marts used to sell an inexpensive Weatherby, made by Howa in Japan, and they were nice rifles. They were chambered for standard calibers instead of the Weatherby Magnums, (actually I think some were chambered for .300 Weatherby Magnum).

They had black synthetic stocks. I was in Panama City and saw one for only $250 on clearance. I was in a hurry and thought I would get back down there before too long. Never made it back.
