Whats the budget?
so far my vote is a savage model 12 fv in .223
I don't think you're going to get the whole package under $500, but maybe $700.
FYI, go to gunbroker and type in "savage 4x4 223". It's basically a 12FV but has a 20" barrel instead of 26". The longer barrel will be better for longer ranges than 500 yards, but the 20" barrel will save a lot of weight and be easier to cart around.
Agree to disagree on this one. his purpose was just shooting targets, weight is not a concern for a range gun. the longer barrel WILL make the longer shots easier.
mosin mine is perty kickass at 100 yards with just iron sights i am sure with a decent scope it would do rather well to 500 yards
