You can pic up a used to almost new tikka t3x for 800 in stainless or 700 in blue,there's a as new 3006 on albertas town post for 850 stainless with riings,you may grab it for 800,200 bucks you can get a decent used scope,burris E1,bushnell 3200,3500 along with other brands.
Ammo is decent in 30 06 165 or so and plenty around,can kill any moose or elk easily ,or just look around for a 270 or 6.5.This stainless or blue is up to the owner,my rifles in blue shoot just as well as my stainless,plus they can be touched up cheap if you nick the bluing.
I can't see any reason not to get set up for 1000 bucks,there's tons of used stuff out there and not 60 year old deals where clips and stuff is hard to find.
There's also sales that pop up here and there,most good gun stores that move plenty of inventory grade there rifles when used and have in store gunsmiths to double check the rifle if you wish.Get them to email if it's good or excellent then you have proof on the condition they quoted you.
