hey all. im sorta-slightly-maybe-wanna considering purchaing a rifle for target shooting, possible varmint hunting. im trying to stay under $500 for rifle/scope. its not easy! haha...im a little flexable, but i figure i should give myself a low price to keep it realistic. anywho, im looking at a remington 700 ADL in .223. i figure .223 can take ANY varmint out there, and the ammo is plentiful and affordable. i considered .308 for a while but figured that i highly doubt id need anything that big. so basically, im asking your advice! more or less id like to stay around that price range and caliber. the rest im all ears....thanks ahead of time


ps dont forget about scopes!
