Great looking gun, a little heavy ...but you dont buy laminate because its light!
Can't go wrong with a Remington 700!! They have been around so long for a reason!!

Be sure to save some of that $1500 for a good quality scope....they make a big difference!!

sorry to side track this thread,
copee, maybe you should start your own thread. you have a legit question
i also agree with mikew,
the glass is as important as gun. dont forget good bases and rings too. good quality glass will take you further in the long run than a nice gun with 'entry level' glass, with your budget, here is my points:
id suggest that you commit approx 60-75% of guns value on your scope and hardware. say 1000 on the gun and 500 on scope.
or i also would say to spend $1000 on glass, then 500 on a gun, because should you want to get another gun, the higher quality scope can transfer over.
im not saying you should get a zeiss or sowatsky right out of the chute, just not a walmart super special of the week
