You will have a tough time finding a factory rifle under $1,000 that will shoot 1/4-3/8" groups at 50 yards without considerable tweaking and after-market parts, including trigger and barrel. Ammo is a huge factor; testing of many brands/costs is essential to achieve that level of accuracy, as are good rests/bags, scope, and practice!
The Savage MKII deluxe model seems to shoot well for the money. A new benchrest shooter at our club uses one in Benchrest Plinker competition and has two others. I'd probably bed the rifle before shooting it, so can't say how it shot from the factory.
Anschutz 64 rifles are also quite accurate, though not top benchrest shooters and may not shoot 1/4" groups at 50 yards without improved bedding.
Good luck in your quest.
