The reason I asked, I just picked up a push feed in 30/06 for $250- I can restock, refinish and re barrel it as necessary and still not be into it for an obscene amount of money, having a rifle twisted and throated the way I want.
I don't know if it's just old age or what, but I am being disillusioned with the current crop of new factory rifles.
Start out paying over $600 for new, then have to have it bedded, trigger work done, try to find a round that is short enough to feed in the mag and still be in the same zip code as the rifling, and then it might or might not shoot. Whether it shoots or not, it often takes half a bottle of copper cleaner to get the bore clean.
Some good info here, thanks everybody.
Fred
