I did end up with a remington.30-06 but it is a 700 lefty bolt.I could not pass it up for what I paid for it.I am going to keep my eyes open for a rem 7600 .308 later this year though.

I am kind of stuck on which gun would be better.


I like synthetic stocks for hunting in lousy weather which is standard fare here.

I have a synthetic 7400 and thanks to the exaggerated Monte Carlo on the plastic models, couldn't acquire the irons w/o rolling my cheekbone up on the stock and getting whacked every time; so I ground that SOB off. It's now the softest-shooting '06 I've ever fired and 40-50 rounds in a sleeveless t-shirt is no big deal.

I also love the Whelen and 358 Winchester; but the 30-06 is no slouch and as noted here you can feed it anywhere.

I ended up not getting the Rem 700 and I have sent a guy with a beautiful 7600 35 whelen,wood stock and engraving of animals on both sides a message to buy the gun he is selling.I am hoping to hear back shortly before work.It is a beautiful looking gun and would make my day to land it.This is the gun I want to buy 110%.
