I would recommend a weatherby vanguard S2 in 243 winchester. they are nice rifles and guaranteed to shoot under 1 inch groups at 100 yards from the factory. they can usually be had for around $450 so that leaves you around $300 for a nice scope after taxes.
interesting though, I wasn't aware that Washington had banned 22 cal centerfires for hunting. guess that means I'll just have to stay on my side of the river and hunt in Idaho.
