Buy recommendations Budget Bolt Action Rifle with Underbarrel Picatinny Rail?

Rifle neophyte here. More of a shotgun man myself. Wanting to diversify my collection.

Looking for a medium to long range bolt action rifle with an underbarrel picatinny rail. Budget is around $1,000.00. Give or take.

Favoring anything as powerful, or more powerful, than .308 Win. Any rifle suggestions welcome.

Curious. Why under-barrel? You mean like on the forend? 

If so, lots of rifles these days come with either a chassis (might be above your price point) or a stock that allows for pic rail sections to be mounted in front. The rifles that don't have this would usually have a front sling stud, which also allows you to mount a sling stud to pic rail adaptor.

If you just want to mount a bipod, you can simply get a sling stud bipod.

Underbarrel shotgun to attach to a forend with a picatinny rail. I know, it's a meme, but, it's what I want do, haha.

Oh then you'd most likely need a rifle with a chassis that comed with a metal handguard lol
