Just getting an itch to go with a classic blued action, maybe controlled round fed.
What do you say? Pre '64 Winchester M 70 or a Mauser 98. POW! 
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Sako is really your Huckleberry. There are plenty of good actions out there and CRF is probably over emphasized for it's supposed advantage. Plenty of Sakos have made it to Africa and there aren't any cemeteries for all the dead guys using push feed guns.
For simplicity, fit, function and quality, you really can't beat the Sako, whether you get the rifle or just build from the action. If you want a classic rifle ready to go, the Pre-Garcia with the third lug is a great way to go. If building from the action, I would still opt for the pre-Garcia action with the third lug, but wouldn't walk away from a standard Garcia action either.
The hunt for the rifle is more fun than the conquest of the same. Enjoy your time deciding, but seriously give a Sako or Sako actions a good look...

Sako AIII Classic 30-06 is exactly what I would choose if I were you. This would be high on the list...

Would love to find one of those pre-Garcia Sako's in a 264 Win mag.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

If it were me I would get a Kimber, Winchester Classic, or a Ruger in that order.
Good Shooting!

Wait and find you a nice, clean Griffin & Howe 1903 Springfield from the 30's with a nice old Lyman receiver sight and be done with it. You'll be the classiest guy in camp.

Ditto, and don't ignore the old Sedgley sporters too. Not quite in the same league as the G&H's, but not bad.

Reading through the responses makes clear that "classic" means different things to different people. I would think a classic 30-06 would be on a Model 70 or Springfield action.

Pre 64 model 70 of course. Is there a better option out there???? Look for a nice fwt too. One like this. The "rifleman's rifle": ![[Linked Image]](http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/IMG_0275_zpsglfipjjb.jpg) Definitely the FIRST choice. Lots of lesser choices that will work, but why mess with them?

American classic, the M70 in either FWT or super grade leaps to my mind. A Kimber would work, although to me they are new enough it is tough to call them a classic, although that is certainly debatable. Lots of people forget or overlook Husqvarna rifles on Mauser actions. They are very nice as well and IMO deserving of the classic title.
