Well one has to ask, "Are you opening a museum or are you planning to hunt with it?"

I like Fwts for hunting and most of them were bought to hunt with. It is nice to hunt with a pristine original, but my main Fwt has lots of scars. It also has an aluminum buttplate that I almost wish was a recoil pad. My 375 H&H is a reblue as well. They both talked with authority in Africa though!

There are lots of 30-06 Fwts around. Check Gunsinternational. Prices would be from $800-$1500 depending on era and condition.
