An for rifles, I’ll be in that 600-1000 mark would rather as well spend the extra money an get a decent scope as well.

Like I said before, you don't need the recoil of the 30.06. A .308 or a .270 is good and there is lots of ammo available which isn't expensive.
You can definitely get yourself a nice hunting rifle with a decent mounted scope for $1000, or even less.
There have been some good suggestions here.
Good luck.
