I recently bought a Remington 700 AWR in 30-06 and I am very satisfied with it. I wanted a rifle over 7lbs and this fit the bill. Fit and finish leaves nothing to want for. I did replace the factory trigger with a Timney. I have shot less than a box of ammo through it because I bought it mid season, but from all indications it has and will shoot fine. I also considered Browning and Winchester but I wanted a slightly heavier rifle. If I had to do over again I would buy the same rifle.
