Look at a Tikka, with the heavy barrel, adjustable cheekpad,.308 cartridge. Called the Semi-sporter. For more money you can get the Sporter a serious competiton rifle that will not break the bank.

No need for a trigger job, trigger is between 3-4 lbs. right out of the box. Barrel is free floated and is the same barrel that is on a Sako. Many will shoot at sub moa right out of the box after sighting in.

Now, I never had to look for 1,000 meter optics. I hunt and find that my favorite optics are made by Swift, same people who make the astrnomical telescopes.

I had forgotten about these rifles.
Patton, I have seen one of these at our range, and it seemed to be a very good shooter! The owner was VERY please with it. Was shooting very well at 500m with some factory ammo, guy was itching to work up H/Ls for it. This might be what you are looking for....
Scopes are what you pay for, and how well you mount it! The best scope will not shoot well if not mounted well and the mounts lapped. My Tasco and BSA scopes shoot well, but I took a great deal of care in the mounting and lapping. This has been well worth the effort.
Thanks for jogging the few memory cells I have...: )
