Man, I shouldn’t have read this thread because now I want to add a new rifle and caliber to the collection.

Can’t speak for the newer x-bolts but I love my browning a-bolt from the mid 90’s. It’s a tack driver and the action is smooth as silk. No need to ever replace it. Have the stainless stalker with boss in 270

Savage 110 will get my vote every time

These days, I think Bergara takes to pot at the "upper end" of the $1k range, however there are lots of sub $600 guns out there that will outshoot most any everyday hunter. Plus you can spend the extra on glass. I have been looking at the Bergaras along with the Howas lately. I had a savage 110 and a Tikka t3 hunter (loved them both) but ultimately sold 1 for a browning x-bolt in 26 nosler which I love even more and the other for a ruger 44 mag carbine which is probably my favorite of my 30+ guns I have.

Check out Sauer Rifles. I just bought a .243 Silver XT. It’s an absolutely tack driver. Mauser M18 are excellent rifles in that price range.

let me slightly hijack this thread
i own zero rifles but i want one to shoot some pigs and yotes. what's my best bet with a ~$1,000 budget?

I own Brownings, Rugers , Remingtons, Marlin , Winchester M70 and a Mauser98 . I have shot Tikka, Savage and Weatherby. Throw out the 98 due to your budget and the Winchester M70 is heads and shoulders above the rest IMO.
