Looking for an interesting bolt action. Any recommendations?

What is your definition of "Interesting"? Personally, I think the Krag rifles are pretty interesting.

Interesting and deadly accurate? Styer Model L with a manlicher stock!

Find yourself a nice condition Mauser 660. Now that is an interesting bolt action rifle.

^^^ Very interesting rifle indeed.

Telescoping action and switch barrels.

How much do you really want to spend?

Based on my short time in the bolt action arena, take this number and double it, amd you will know what youre going to spend.


Wow, this stuff is expensive.

Then take that number, and double it again for a scope.

I got the bolt action itch and I wanted to get something with some interesting features. I'm not looking for a target rifle that's meant to be bench rested, I'm looking for something lighter that can be fired offhand easily.

Most non-target rifles seem to just be plain Jane hunting-style rifles, and I've been looking for something different.

So far, a few things caught my eye. I really like the switch barrel concept (mainly so I can shoot relatively cheap and low-recoiling .223 at paper, since I only have easy access to 200 yard ranges, and .308 at everything else), so Savage with their barrel nut system and the TC Dimension (for obvious reasons) appeal to me. I've been thinking of putting a Savage in a light chassis and making a light precision rifle so I can customize it to my heart's content. Both of these also have a rebate right now, which makes them appealing.
I know there's also a conversion for the Remington (the Rem/Age) and it doesn't require gunsmithing like its previous iteration, but that'd probably be much more expensive than just going with Savage.

Another thing that caught my eye was the Mossberg MVP Flex system. I've heard a lot of good things about the Mossberg MVP and how accurate it is out of the factory, and the rifle's definitely one for shooting offhand. I think the Flex system is pretty cool. I like both traditional stocks and pistol-gripped stocks depending on the day, and this would give me access to both, as well as a traditional stock with an adjustable LOP. I can also install a Flex conversion kit on my 500 and share stocks between them. It's also the cheapest option out of the box; at Sportsman's Warehouse the MVP Flex in .223 and .308 is cheaper than the standard MVP for some reason (I'd probably go with the .308 if I had to pick one).

Any recommendations or comments on the rifles I mentioned?

EDIT: I should mention my budget is under $1000, so the Blaser R8 is a no go, even though I think it's an awesome design.

Savage's new line of Model 110 rifles with AccuFit system may include a rifle that suits you.

Check out their Model 110 Tactical Rifle with the AccuFit setup.
