Budget under $1,000. No particular conditions to consider. As far as range goes just the most accurate out of the box all around Rifle.

Tikka T3 or T3x would be my first choice, next up would be the Savage 116 which wasn't on your list.  Both are fine rifles and the Savage has the potential to be the more accurate rifle, but the Tikka is much more refined and has considerably better fit/finish.

I was also going to say Kimber Hunter, based on specs and holding one.  I've never seen one shot though.  Have you seen bad groups Highside?  I know some Montana's didn't shoot, though the ones I've seen shot well.  Curious if that is the case wih the Hunters.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't care about this site.

That said, I'll say AR-15 chambered in .375 SOCOM
