Looking for a cheap, accurate, semi-automatic or bolt action rifle that isn't too expensive to shoot and can, in the right hands, be accurate to 200+ yards using just iron sights. I looked at the SKS and Mosin, but I feel like they just aren't the right fit for me, though they are still potential buys.

Nothing over ~$500 please, I just want something fun for the range and perhaps for local coyote control.
