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

No worries but would like to add that a freshly produced 2016 Rem 700 ADL package rifle from WallyWorld had ZERO function, feeding or finish flaws like some reported from a couple-few years ago. For $379 it a crazy bargain. Not saying it's like the good ol' days, nor suggesting it's better than this or that, but it wasn't phucqk'ed up in the least. Around here, oft-times used ones are $600+. There's always exceptions and there's always good deals... Saw it somewhere, I think in a Nosler manual, a 30-06 rifle is ubiquitous. Right along with a decent deal on a 270 it's likely the easiest find there is. That 78 for $425 would have worked... Saw a mint pre-83 700 BDL 7-08 the other day for $500 and still kicking myself for not throwing it on layaway. Just because... But then 'budget' is a relative term.
