its what i decided on

If you are looking for a rifle to use in 1000 yard competition (F Class) you may not need a mag fed rifle as most competitions are single loading only.
For something that will shoot out of the box for $1000 go for a Tikka T3 as stated above.

Savage is making some but who knows when they will make it to
Canada. Otherwise, the 12FV or other stock styles work great.

Howa 1500? the supreme varminter series looks really nice. I'm not usually a fan of things made in other countries, but the Howa does seem really well made. you can find a review over at snipercentral (google it

When I bought my .30-06, I was stuck in the mindset that it just had to be a detachable mag and that was that.
Now that I have a 700 SPS Varmint in .223, and have seen just how easily it loads from the top, and that the hinged floor plate really isn't that big of a deal to get the cartridges out, I think I'm hooked. I doubt I will ever buy another rifle with a detachable mag. I figure carrying around a box of cartridges (if I ever need to do that, seeing as how its a pretty heavy gun) is probably just as bulky as having spare mags on hand.
The detachable mag on my Savage 111FCXP3 can also get annoying. The release on it is quite exposed, and if you hold the rifle near where it's located, often you end up bumping it on recoil, and it dislodges the magazine.
I guess all I'm saying is, if you haven't had the chance to try a gun with a hinged floorplate, definitely give it another chance. I'm not trying to talk you out of it either however. If you know it's what you have to have, then go for it! There's lots of guns out there to choose from, and we all have our preferences!
