Default RE: Best .204 under $1000?

Now I'm at a point where I need help.

I'm down to the Rem VTR (because of lightweight), Rem XR-100 (Accuracy), and the Savage 12 LPV (I hear nice things).

The XR and LPV run pretty close and both have fine adjustable triggers. The Savage has a free floated barrel where the remington may need a trip to the gunsmith. But the problem is both are over 9lbs and make them unfriendley hunting guns to pack around.

The VTR is light, but needs a new stock to replace that cheap plastic and a trigger job to lighten it up. Comes with a muzzle brake for reduced jump which should make it a dream to see impact but that triangle barrel is funky and with it at only 22" I'm not real sure if it would be a shooter. But at around 7lbs it would be more fun to carry.

Any hands on advice?
