Hi Cody, here's one that would work, and it's under $400. budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/159856/ati+alpha+max+5.56+16+hbar+9+rail+mm4+stock+30r ,
Stay safe & have a great day!

I dont like 223 for deer. Ther are much better calivbers like 270 or 308, but if I had to it would be a good bolt action like this budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/113521/savage+axis+ii+overwatch+223+20b and add a good scope

Hi Cody and welcome back. I would go with the ETS Omega : budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/717157263/et+arms+etagom556ml1030+omega-15 ---------------- Using this ammunition : budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/65726/federal+223a+power-shok+soft+point+20rd+55gr+.223+remington ----------- Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Hmmmm. Not too much under $400 I'd go with but this Diamondback is just a tad over the 400 mark.
