"High End Modern" Bolt Guns

To ME, that would mean something out of your price range that looks like this:

with this takedown case (watch the video a little bit down the age on the case)

Update

Thanks for all the feedback. Here's where I'm at. Four options in my mind at this point. All are under budget, and I'll show the projected bare rifle weights based on what I can find online.

1. Keep the Model 70 EW and put it in a McMillan Edge Stock: approx 6.25 lbs (cheapest option by far, but not in the caliber I prefer, 7mm08)

2. Rem Model 7 barreled action with McM Edge: approx 5.5 lbs

3. Tikka T3x barreled action with McM Edge: approx 6 lbs

4. Christiansen Arms Mesa, stock: 6.5 lbs

Which would you choose, and why?

The only one I can comment on is the Tikka. Mine's a Tikka T3 CTR, chambered in .260 Remington. With a 10-round mag, I initially bought it for some mid-range tactical matches, but loved it so much, after swapping the scope for a 1-3x, it's become my almost-perfect go-to whitetail rifle. It would need a 3-position safety to be my perfect deer rifle. Regardless, it's bone stock, but still absolutely shoots lights-out. A T3x in a McM stock would be a nice shooting rifle, methinks.
