re: Looking for recommendations on a bolt action rifle.

Lots of good suggestions, but my thinking agrees w/ Downshift.

Everything on the market shoots great these days so it comes down to what features you want/like in a given price bracket.

What kind of safety do you wan? How does the stock fit you? Do the gun point well naturally for you? Do you want a removable box magazine, blind magazine or hinged floor plate? Do you want the gun to have a nice butt pad? Is the trigger adjustable?

These are a few of the questions you need to answer to better know what gun you want.

ETA: Personally I'd first look at a Savage, using the savings to spend on optics and ammo. I think the 308 Win is a fine choice. Admittedly, I've never shot a Bergara, but it feels like it's replaced Tikka as the OB's official rifle.
