A .308 win will get you out to 800 and 1000 if you know what your doing.
Try to avoid the axis if you want to customize it at some point, there are no aftermarket stocks and the stock that comes on it is a less than amazing synthetic.
You might be able to find a factory scoped Model 11/111 Trophy hunters xp for somewhere in the 500-600 dollar range.
Although your budget is a little low for getting them out 800-1000 yards, you can still learn the fundamentals with a rifle like I suggested.
