Pretty simple question. I want the most accurate rifle that meets certain “requirements.”

You have these requirements:
$2000 to spend, but ideally under $1500
Not including optics, rests, ammo, reloading, etc
Not a gunsmith in any way. Mounting a scope will be hard enough.
10-12 lbs max
Not a bench only rifle. Might need to hunt varmints/deer with it some
Good 100 yd groups
Deer effectiveness to 500 yds
Varmints to 800 yds
Ring steel or shoot targets to 1000 yds
Probably needs a muzzle brake for recoil control.

Thinking 300 WM or maybe 6.5 Creedmoor.
