No one mentioned a Kimber Super America? I haven't owned one, the ones I saw in the shop sure look purdy. Yes, someone did. But the OP said, "I’d like to keep it around $1000, give or take." A Kimber Super America will cost you more than that. You're right though - they sure are purdy.

Here is my SC BACO stock. Not the prettiest but not bad. Interestingly, CDNN has SuperGrade FWT stocks for sale. I bought one and it was plain Jane straight grain. I returned it. BTW if I didn't already have this and -06's coming out my ears I would take Buttstock up on that deal.

Pretty? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. So to me, this is my prettiest deer (and elk, moose, buffalo and antelope ) rifle. my Rifle 2 by Steve Zihn, on Flickr My Rifle 3 by Steve Zihn, on Flickr

Very nice - when pretty, old school and deer rifle were all mentioned together, this Ballard was the first one to come to mind:

I'd probably snag one of those Super Grades and call it good, the Featherweight mentioned earlier would also be a great option.
I know I'll probably get flamed for this but, at least check out the(now discontinued) Savage American Classic, some of them had VERY nice wood. Mossberg is also making the Patriot Revere with nice bluing and very nice checkered walnut stocks.

This Kimber SuperAmerica in the classifieds would have me stretching the budget a little. I could hunt with a 325WSM
