Rifle and scope of rifle only? $1000 for a rifle/scope isnt high end at all. You can get a nice shooter for that but not high end. I reckon it would take near $2500 to really reach the high end on a combo, wouldnt it? Unless you go used. I did get a Weatherby 257wbymag, zeiss hd5, 5 boxes of ammo, trigger upgrade and a nice soft case for $1000 a couple years ago. Good deals are out there, but not new guns.

Kimber Hunter Pro would be on the lower end of your budget and the Model 70 Extreme Weather would be towards the upper end. Both are great rifles. The Kimber Montana is another option towards the upper end of your budget. The action, trigger, & barrel are identical to the Kimber Hunter but the Montana has a much nicer, higher end composite stock.

Sound advice. Sure is. Also, if buying used is an option you could really upgrade with a 1500 budget.

In that range I'd say Kimber 84, Sako 85 (might be a tad over your max, but possible), Weatherby Mark V or Winchester 70

Sauer,sako,etc....
High end doesnt necessary mean most accurate. I have two remington 308's that will shoot the center of the center of a bullseye out. One is a model 700 vls and the other is a model 600. If you are just looking for braggin rights you need to spend more than 1500. If you just want looks then buy an accurate rifle and put a high end stock on it. Personally I go for accuracy and a great scope
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!
