I've handled a Mossberg 100 ATR and it had the single worst trigger I've ever seen on a commercial rifle. Save a tad more and you can pick up a Howa 1500 Lightning with a good quality scope and rings for $400-500 in your choice of calibers. For target work I'd probably suggest a .223, you'll save a ton on Ammo.

What range will you be shooting at? It's it's 100 yards or less I'd suggest a Ruger 10/22 for anywhere from $200-400 depending on the model. It's amazing how much you can do with these in either stock form or fully tricked out. And you can afford to shoot all day.
