New and current production I would follow along ans say the Ruger American. I was looking for something like this 6 years ago and found a S&W I-Bolt. Made for 2 years by S&W directly, it has a Thomson Center made barrel, Timney trigger, full round bolt like an American, and a factory picatinay rail. Can be had for $250 new on GunBroker right now. Mine is sub-MOA accurate with handloads and has taken more deer than all my other rifles combined.
