Before I start, let me say that I am still trying to figure this forum out, so if this is the wrong place please feel free take it down and point me in the right direction. Anyhow, I am looking for recommendations on a reliable, customizable, and lower priced bolt action hunting rifle. Definantly one that can handle desert weather (wind and fine sand). Also with iron sights and hopefully under $500. I've seen the Remington 700 adl at academy and they look nice, but I'm unsure if there are any ones better suited. Or how I would go about getting iron sights installed. Eventually I will replace the stock,add some quad rails, and a scope. But since I like iron sights I want those first. Any suggestions will be great.
