Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Need advice on best "value bolt-action 30-06"

+1 on the Howa / Vanguard. And I'd go 308 for deer and just about anything else.

If it must be 30-06 and a long action, the Zastava / Interarms is great value and bombproof. But the Howa would serve you just as well.

The RAR is good but there's lots of plastic on them. I can't see many of them being passed onto grandkids.
