I have a Remington 700 Long Range in 7 Rem Mag, and it has been a great gun. Good accuracy, decent action, heavy barrel, and great B&C M40 stock right out of the box. In my opinion, it's about the best bang for the buck if you want a factory gun with a nice stock and heavy barrel for under $700. You get a lot of great features without paying the 'custom build' price tag, and they come in 300 RUM. That would be my first suggestion based on your description of what your friend wants.
Here is a link for a new one in 300 RUM for $649:
