I was a 30~06 guy for years till a buddy of mine let me shoot his 7mm~08 and I was hooked. Ballistics on it are very good also.
You have several choices rifle wise in your price range. Im a Remington fan with my Model 7 in 7mm~08 being my favorite but Ive bought 2 Axis and both were very good shooters. I bought the GF the Axis compact model in 7mm~08 and its shoots very well with the Hornady American whitetail loads @ $20 a box regular price.
