Remington SPS Varmint or Sendero would be the lowest cost rifle I'd recommend.

The sky's the limit on cost for what you want, depending on whether you want competition quality, or just something to please you.

Custom rifles can give you the accuracy you want, but at a price of up to $4,000. Commercial rifles will be in the 1-2,000 range. Savage make some nice ones that shoot well, but I'm partial to Remingtons.

Custom rifles, mostly based on Remington actions, have been doing it right. That's a good way to go if you can spend to get the best.

Accuracy costs money. How accurate do you want to be?
