My advice takes second to the (timeless) wisdom of saving the money.

If you must purchase a rifle, look at the Tikka rifles, or the base line Savage heavy barrels. 4-600 will buy a decent action/barrel, and you can add a good stock down the line.

I will add that saving money has allowed me to pursue, for nearly a year (and counting hopefully), turning a hobby into a business.

Don't forget, a decent optic for a precision rig would run about 800 min, up to 4k
