Afternoon gentlemen. I'm looking for a general purpose hunting and target 308. Main requirements are threaded barrel, detachable mag preferred. Quality stock that doesn't need to be changed. Basically I want a solid rifle gtg out of the box that requires no mods to perform. I've set my budget at 1k and the 2 that seem to fit my needs best are the Bergara HMR and Savage 110 tactical with accufit accustock. Price in today's market its close enough its a wash. Will be topped with Bushnell lrhs if that matters.

Have you looked at the Seekins Havok? its a few hundred more but would be worth it. The havok can take advantage of most R700 accessories and is a modern refined American made action. Out of your choices, I would pick the Bergera, better factory stock, more aftermarket support a little more fit and finish than a savage.
I found my Bergara HMR Pro 6.5 CM for $1,000.
If you can do the same, that is what you want. Much better action, barrel, trigger, and finish than the B-14 HMR.

Not knowing the kind of hunting you are looking into - if you don't want to mess with it but still have decent options for aftermarket, CTR like others have said. That said, I'd take a hard look at Sig Cross as well. Or Ruger Ranch if you want to keep some money in your pocket.
Tikka CTR is nice. Eventually you’d probably want a KRG bravo or similar for it
Bergara is a solid rifle as well. I have the B14R (.22 version)
You can find Ruger Precision Rifles used for around $1K
If you plan to do lots of walk/stalk hunting with only a slight bit of target shooting then lighter may be better
