Savage for me, Sportways often have sharp deals. Like this: http://www.gunshed.co.nz/11-internat...hunter-223rem/
Obviously personal taste and fit/feel plays a big part in a rifle, seriously go and check out / hold a few different models to see what you like instead of just asking the internet what to buy. New Marlins and the Ruger American are supposed to be pretty good too at budget prices but I haven't looked at them personally.
