Welcome to The Firing Line!

For less than $700 new, you can probably pick up a great Weatherby, Savage, CZ, or Remington bolt action ,223 that would do anything you wanted to 300 yards.

The AR pattern rifles will let you burn through ammo faster and are arguably more fun to shoot. I can't help you on the under $700 bit though, Mine have more than that in the uppers (not including optics). I think the DPMS models are fair and may be found in your price range.
