I'll give my two recommendations. (I think I may have given one of these already)
Ruger American Rifle in .308 or .270 Winchester, if you're on a tight budget. It likely wont win any competitions, but I'm sure it could hold it's own, unless you get a lemon.
Weatherby Vanguard with sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, in the caliber of your choosing. Should still be under $1000 and you're guaranteed sub-MOA groups with 'Weatherby or premium factory ammunition' which means if you hand load it's likely possible to get your groups even tighter.
