Recommend me a nice single shot rifle. I am currently a bit bored with semiautos and magazine fed guns in general and I want to challenge myself as a shooter. Preferably a new gun.
Can be any action type if it's otherwise solid and precise. Needs to have both open sights and a rail for scope. I like cartridges and reloading, however muzzle loaders are not out of the question at this point.

Due to their variety I'd recommend the H&R Handi-Rifle, nothing fancy but they are generally good shooters and there are a lot of barrels available. Even a couple long 45-70 and 38-55's if you wanted to get into BPCR competitions.
Otherwise you have the Ruger No.1 which is a wonderful rifle based loosely on the Farquharson design and in an assload of chamberings, I've seen everything from 220 Swift to 450 Nitro Express and everything in-between. Beyond that you have the big classics like the Sharps, High Wall, and Rolling Block. Uberti makes damn good repros of all of the above and you can get Sharps and High Walls pretty reasonably if you avoid the Deluxe Sporting models and the like.

Both look very cool.
Does anyone here have a Ruger No. 1?

If you live in the US, IMA sell them quite cheap and you can do a payment plan
If you live in the UK - Canada often sells old rifles cheap, I got my Martini for $850CAD (£500) pretty much half the price I'd pay in England
