I have this rifle in .243 and it is my favorite rifle.
It can also be had in 300 win mag ($644):

If you want lower cost you can do the T3 Lite which is around $500 and has synthetic stock, but for larger calibers I would go with the wood stock. Not to mention the wood stock looks awesome compared to the synthetic.
