    stay clear of the missberg. any "reviews" that paint that piece of garbage in a favorable light can be considered bought...

    Just have a look at its "bedding" system...

    Howa 1500s are cheap, abundant and tend to shoot well.

    I would recommend a stainless version.

    As for caliber, out to 300 yards, any of the common calibres will be absolutely suitable. 270 tends to kick a bit more if that is a concern for you. Test shoot one before you commit.
