A new 700 is about $575 for the SPS. You could look around for a $200 optic, but I'm not sure what would be a good one.
I bought mine in 7mm SAUM, but ammo is absurd. I'd try to get it in .308 due to cheap ammo prices. It will definitely be effective for 500.

I agree, I was hoping to find a good quality used bolt action and use the money I save towards better optics.
