Anyway..
I am thinking about a .300 win mag Remington 700 with a 26" barrel. By the end of this year I may try and find one. My goal is to buy one for $3-600 or so. It can be used, that is fine. Then I want to get a scope on it too by the end of this year. I want something that can work quite long. My limit would be around $400 for the scope.
Then next year I would intend to buy an accuracy international stage 1.5 with a bipod. That is going to be another cool $1500 or so.
So I guess what I am curious about, are my price points realistic for a decent 700? Probably won't have a muzzle brake.

If you have never had a distance rifle, I wouldn't start with a .300 Win Mag. The recoil will cause bad habits and the cost of ammo will limit training. A 700 SPS V in .308 Win will do great for a beginner and will hit 800-900 yards reasonably well.
I bought a SPS in .30-06 for a longer range target rifle. I mounted a Bushnell Tactical Elite 3200 5-15X magnification and it's a solid scope.
