With your criteria, no question get a .308. While you can definately kill a deer with a .223, a .308 is still a better choice...Shooting out to 800 yards? Forgetaboutit with a .223(if you are actually looking for "groups")
Plus, nowadays .223 isn't all that much cheaper than .308, especially if you plan on reloading.
Since you are looking for a precision rifle and not something you take to the range and dump 100's of rounds at a time, ammo price is a moot point.
