If I could go back and do it over, I'd probably look for a Husqvarna like the one below. I think it is a 1600 or something close. It has a commercial small ring 98 Mauser style action that is as slick as warm butter. The stock isn't fancy but it is comfortable. It is a 30/06 which is all I would need. I'd put a Leupold VX3 2.5X8 scope on it in Weaver mounts.
