What would you recommend?

Post #6 is my recommendation.
I am a Savage man and their price, quality, and out of the box accuracy have never let me down. Their lower end stocks do leave something to be desired for long range work. A pistol grip stock fits my build much better. They offer very nice heavy barrel rifles in good stocks for reasonable prices.
Remington's 700 line are very popular also but I think they are having quality control issues and I just don't think they can compete with the accuracy and economy of Savage.
If I was shopping for the cheapest long range rifle I could find I would go with the Savage 10 Precision Carbine. Street price is about $700 or so. That being said I would step up to one of the better stocks because I would end up doing that later anyways.
That is just my opinion. Take it for what it is.
On a side note, if you don't reload, are mainly going to be shooting paper, and are somewhat new to rifles, you might want to think about the same rifle in .223. Cheaper ammo, less recoil, and will still get you to 600 yards easily.
If you are new to this trigger time and shooting technique are what you should be really concentrating on.
.22s are great practice also if you can find any ammo.......
