It literally comes down to what best for you. There are a lot of good rifles out there.
The first thing that is important is the trigger pull length and weather you want a high comb for a scope or a low comb for iron sights.
Then you should consider the style of gun TC Triumph which is a break action with a high comb for a scope and the Omega which is a drop action with a low comb for iron sights. They are both excellent shooters for accuracy but the Triumph is the cleanest shooting with no blowback at all on the ones I have shot.
The Knights are excellent shooters some of there best guns are bolt actions, and with the Lehigh modifications can be very clean, if you want a fairly hefty bolt action the Long Range hunter is a good choice.
Of course if you feel you must monkey with smokeless that calls for a Savage and a great deal of care and a powder scale and weighing each load.
If it is necessary for you to go with the lower price range take a look at the Accura, some people like them.
