Assuming a budget of $500, what's the most accurate, decently

>>34166520
Howa or Savage bolt gun in .223/5.56

>>34166520
Ruger American in .308 with the Vortex scope package.

>>34166520
Savage 10 for really good accuracy, but a low end AR-15 you get for $500 will be able to hit a human torso at 500y with non-shit ammo.

Zastava M59 the better version of SKS . 7.62x39 ammo. They are around 500$ in my country but can probably be found cheaper in USA

If you can't find it just get a SKS

Thanks for a solid jumping off point. I'm avoiding the AR platform because I'll end up spending over a grand nickeling and diming myself with "eh, a much better fire control group is just $70 more..."

Howa Mini Action, CZ 527, or Savage Axis II. They're all cheap and available in .223. The Howa and CZ are available in 6.5 Grendel if you want better ballistics for more expensive ammo.

500 dollars to hit targets of what size at 500 yards?

sincerely not even trying to offend: your whole post reads as "semester is out, dude can't keep weapons in the dorm, and is in way the fuck over his head"

This.
>>34166557
Not this.

You can get a savage axis heavy barrel and it's a subMOA gun for less than $300.
