If you go the bolt gun route, do it right and go custom.
Why go custom Bolt? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to bolt guns. If a out of the box bolt is capable of 1/2-3/4 MOA out of the box (some may reach 1/3 MOA), whats the value added for a custom Bolt?

From what I gather, aftermarket stocks are stiffer for more repeatability...But other than that I really don't know much.

*ETA*:

Also hoping on taking a precision rifle class....hence the need for a precision rifle.
