I would go Seekins. You will be able to put a good scope on it and stay under your budget. I have been working on a load for a Fierce Reaper with carbon fiber barrel all summer and its at best a 1 moa gun on a good day. The Bergara's I have worked on shot well, and are a lot less money.
Help! seekins vs fierce vs others..

I have 2 of the Seekins PH2, one in 300 win and the other in 6.5 PRC. They are both extremely accurate. I have had a lot of high end rifles up to full custom rigs and have never found anything that checks all the boxes better than a Seekins. They just do everything a good rifle should every time.

I was looking at the PH2 that's on here that the one gentleman has listed…didn't pull the trigger yet. It's in 7mm mag. But I'm guessing it's a shooter
I have a Seekins and a Fierce. Seekins has my vote.
You need to visit a local gun shop so you can handle different rifles, see what fits you. Look at a Weatherby.

I love the 22" barrel. Does weatherby have that option?

Werkman Rifle System
More bang. Less bucks. The Werkman rifle offers a premium Gunwerks experience at a lower price.
If 4k was my budget I'd definitely look harder than a seekins. Nothing against them but 4k gives you some wiggle room over a seekins IMO. These rifles all shown in stock and ready to ship. Just saying.....

Gotta leave room for good glass.
Well beings that the OP said he's looking for a rifle on a 4k budget and hasn't acknowledged either way if that includes glass it's fair to assume a rifle on a 4k budget is a rifle on a 4k budget.Gotta leave room for good glass.
All of my suggestions are rifles under a 4k budget....
I tried Fierce a few years ago, Not a fan. Maybe they have improved.

When I worked in gun sales, we sent back a shocking number of fierce and Christensen for QC issues. That's been a minute, but I would have a hard time trusting fierce .

I recently overheard a conversation between a guy and the salesman at my lgs about the carbon-fibre wrapped barrels loosening up and poi shifting as the barrels heated up. I'm not sure what QC issues you saw, and I'm not sure the details of this whole conversation, as I didn't listen to the whole thing.
