Nut. I have done a couple shouldered for friends on the bighorn action. Spec was good. If I could get a shoulder with short chamber I'd use my reamer and finish it out to my headspace spec. I like 1.5 thou. With a shoulder the swap would be super fast and precise. I have a process that works for me to get headspace dialed in fast tho so I don't get too concerned about any of it.

I have loved and hated the old 308 Winchester but i keep coming back to it. It is a very well balanced cartridge and great for killing stuff within reasonable distances. Here's what my parts list would look like.
1. Action Tikka t3 action (buy the rifle for $700ish and sell the barrel and stock)
2. Trigger spring $10
3. Mesa Altitude stock $675
4. Carbon Six Tikka shouldered prefit $775
5. Picatinny rail $50
Total $2,210

BTW- that rifle is 8 lb 14 oz with the can. Without the can it's 8 lb 4oz. In case you were wondering. Around here a lighter rifle is desired. I've packed 14-16 lb rifles and this is makes my old body much happier.

rem 700 short action, cause it ain't broke.
3.1" Baney box from wyatts.
lilja #3 fluted barrel, cause carbon is for arrows.
mcmillan game scout edge fill
choose a bottom metal
TT or timney
send it to CCR Refinishing for cera-hide instead of cerakote.

Yeah I have a couple of really light rifles. This one I would like to be under 9.5 with my can on it. 8lb 14oz would be perfect
I've had nothing buy great luck from APR both in customer service and how they shoot. All have been .5moa or better to 600 yards.
The Maverick fits your budget with room for upgrades like a trigger, brake or suppressor mount.
Below is my 30 nosler which is essentially what turned into the Maverick line.
Below is a 1.75 inch group at 600 yards. No warm up or checking zero at 100. Just dial and shoot 3.

So far this is what I'm thinking
X caliber carbon prefit $685
Bighorn TL3 $1250
Manners EH1 $705
Timney elite hunter flat $150
Hawkins M5 DBM $200
It puts me at $2990 but if I don't have to pay a smith to chamber it I'm still in my budget. It's not final yet but this is what I'm thinking

Not everyone gets my humor.
The rifle I pictured above comes fully built for 2650. For a little more you can add a carbon barrel. The tenacity action is considerably less money and even bit as good as the TL.
