Properly taken care of, no rifle will rust or caroode!

Just to clarify on the Winchester Supergrade:
There are two model lines, one with a really really nice Maple stock around the $1500 range, and a Walnut line around $1200.
They only come in a few calibers in the Maple, but the Walnut has all the common calibers including the 308 Winchester.
The Featherweight is a great rifle as well, I have one of those too and they are lightweight, and accurate. You can get into one of those around $800 leaving you plenty in your budget for a nice Leupold VX and mounts.

With his budget, the Winchester Model 70 featherweight is the winning ticket. It is a gun worthy of being in anyone's collection yet leave the OP enough money to get a fine scope and rings.
I'm sure he can get a model 70 featherweight for $850, Burris signature low rings, $50,
Leupold VX 2 3x9x40 $250-$300
That would be a deer/elk/antelope/hog/black bear slaying setup that will last a lifetime. And Leupold warranty is #1...+ They are made here in the good ol' USA

Because it has a 10" twist, I bought the new SS piece and put a Magpul 700 Hunter stock on it. Shoots 1/2" all the live long day with 150 CORELOKTs! Under $1k for both. Forgot to mention I put the Nikon P-308 (4x12) with BDC reticle. It's factory set for a 168@2700, but you can calibrate your own loads with the Nikon web software.

I see that someone already recommended the Winchester 70 Extreme Weather. That was going to be my suggestion.
I have one and it's awesome.
