sorry but.....
What's an "inlaid sling swivel"?
You talking a swivel stud, or sling shackles, or something else?

Very few, in 1963 only.Did they make them in 284 Winchester?

Yes, we are talking now. With a 2K budget, you should easily win this auction and check everything on you list. I won one off gun broker last year (sans sights) for about $1200. No regrets.

Who makes the classic American game hunting rifle?
All of the Standard Hawkeyes on their website are listed as having American Walnut Stocks. Am I missing something?I work at a Gun store. As I was reading your list of attributes you were wanting, and more specifically the slick bolt, I was thinking of the Winchester M70. Almost all the other bolt action rifles have bolts that are fast but they are loose. They don’t have the smooth, almost hydraulic, feel to them like the Winchester does. I believe in your price range you can indeed get a super grade as was aforementioned by someone above. I think a Weatherby might come in second place. The ONLY drawback about the new Winchester’s is that they are now made in Portugal. Their lever guns are from Japan and their shotguns are made in Turkey, all on the same equipment they all used to be made with here but hell, Brownings, Weatherby’s and a few other top shelf rifles are made in other places as well. If it has to be American made the Remington and Ruger are still made here and are still quality Guns but I don’t think Ruger is making a Walnut stock bolt action this year.
No one does what you want currently, you'll have to find a Pre-64 Winchester M70 FWT in .243 or .308 to get what you're wanting. The wood may or may not have the figure you're looking for. That or buy a current model M70 swap out the stock for a custom to get enough drop to align with sights you'll have installed, add a low power scope with a small objective lens to not need a cheek riser, and put it in a set of Leupold QR/QRW rings and bases and you'll have what you want.
