long range hunting rifle

[bbradford]

I am looking to get into long range shooting and hunting. I would like to purchase a new rifle but really do not know where to start. Can anyone suggest a good quality factory rifle in the cost range of $1,000 or less. I want one that has a composit stock but I really hate the new composit stocks out now days, checkering looks like crap and so does the soft rubber inlays. I am guessing I will need a stainlkess steel barrel unless anyone thinks otherwise, maybe a bull barrel. I would like it to be a 300 win mag. My lease is over run with hogs and we are asked to kill as many as possible but offten they are 500-800 yards out. I would also like a suggestion on which scope to get, again I can't afford an arm and a leg.

Please Help

Thanks
