My personal recommendation would be that if you can find an older Remington 700, I’d go that route, but prices have been going a little wacko of late. I have several R700s and I’ve never had an issue. My .270 Win is a R700 CDL, and I’ve killed more deer with it than any of my other rifles.
Failing that, and dependent on your budget, I’d say my next choice would be a Winchester M70 featherweight or super grade.
Now that the future of big green is up in the air, I might have to switch to Winchesters...
Third choice is Kimber. But again, pricey.
I’ve been burned by Ruger’s, so I can’t recommend them a bit. Accuracy is broad side of a barn at 100 yards, so buyer be ware.
