If you're looking more toward a heavier target rifle then Tikka CTR.

Street price is around $1000 in blue, around $1100 in stainless. If you're shooting 1000 yards or less the 20" barrel is enough. If you want to go longer than 1000 yards 24" is an option. If you don't go too heavy with the scope they are still suitable for hunting. Certainly on the heavy side, but doable.

If you're geared more toward hunting then T-3. Street prices are about $600 in blue, $750 in Stainless. Weight scoped will be 7 1/4 to 7 1/2 lbs.

You can spend more money, but won't get a better rifle.
