If you are wanting value and accuracy, look at the Savage line. They are great out of the box shooters, and you can spend more on the three things that mean more than all the other gun hype out there: rings, bases, and optics. Ammo is a key factor too (don't expect sub MOA accuracy using mil surp), but an optic and the foundation and attachment mechanism are going to be far more important.
The fact of the matter is that most of the bolt guns on the market today are capable of sub MOA accuracy out of the box. You might have to find the right ammo, mix your own load, or spend some time behind the trigger to get there, but they are capable of it.
I own a Remington 700 SPS Tactical. It's a great out of the box shooter, and plenty accurate for what you would be doing. My only complaint is the twist rate is slower than I would like. It will stabilize 165gr. rounds fine, but anything above that tumbles past 100-150 yards. YMMV. One day I will probably re-barrel it to something more accurate. As it sits, it is fine for what I do: shooting to 350 yards and hunting whitetail/hogs.
