I've had good luck with Nosler rifles, and if you total up their features it's hard to have a rifle built for the same price--especially if you want a walnut stock. The MSRP for the Heritage is a little more than $1700, but not much. However, whether they have the features YOU want is another question. If you're into something a little more, uh, modern then the Ruger Precision Rifle is a deal.

Haven't tried a Bergara, but have shot a couple rifles with Bergara barrels, which were pretty good.
