Nothing really all that special. I'd go with the RPR first or the bergara. I'm sure itd probably do ok but there are better choices. It's just a M77 in a painted wood stock.

I haven't shot one, but have fondled them at the local gun store.
For a factory rifle, in a more "traditional" stock, they look and feel very nice, the bolt runs smooth.
They are heavy. Did I mention heavy yet?
I don't think they will be any more accurate than the RPR, but if you like the traditional stock over the chassis stock, then it's a great option.
That being said, it's a bit of a big beast for just shooting 6.5CM, I'd be looking at it more for 6.5 PRC or hoping they come out with .300 PRC in that one.
Also if you want a rifle not in a chassis stock and under $1k, make sure to give the Tikka T3x CTR a close look. It gives you a lot of value, great accuracy and lots of options in a cheap package.

Another option is this. A Ruger American Hunter with 22" bbl and Magpul stock. Goes for around $700.
Check out the new Browning long range rifle with adjustable stock. Its around a grand and a way smoother action.
Did you even look?
I should probably just leave this thread but seriously consider the bergara HMR, it has a better/more versatile action and the stock has pillars and they are proven to shoot. I'm sure you can find one around $900 or less. And the Ruger was designed after the HMR.
It has a rotary mag, it's not a standard AICS but they are tough. I drove over mine once and it had no problems. The down side is you'll be limited to 4 rounds.
