Howa's and Vanguards are the best bang for the buck in a push feed rifle IMO.
The newer ones have two-stage triggers and every one I've used has been excellent. The older ones required a Timney but the newer ones with the two-stage are good to go.
If you're unemployed you can order a Boyds. If you have seasonal work you can get a B&C. If you're rich like the rest of us I'd get a Sako Hunter from McMillan.

I really like my Howa but not the Hogue stock so much. Didn't realize McMillan made something that will work for the Howa. Could be interesting.
I have overused this picture, but here is a Howa Lightweight in a McSwirley, sako classsic pattern.
It started out as a .243, but I rebarreled it to .308, and it now has a VX-2 CDS 2-7X33 instead of the regular scope. Here it is with a non-competing Dinkathon candidate.
