Around here I have seen a SA Mil-Spec for $569. RIA seems to be a good candidate for the money, for around 700, you can get a Remington SS or a Ruger. I'd go with either the SA for the price or the Ruger because it is a model 70 if you can stretch your budget.

I did find your comment that the ones you saw were either over $1000 or a Sig. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with a Sig (in fact I have one). If the slide profile bothers you, you can get the Traditional series. If the external extractor bothers you, it is what it is and it's only a matter of aesthetics, not function. That said, the Sigs are more expensive than the ones I listed above.
