I bought a 700 Classic from a fellow fire member. I took it to Texas and the ranch manager said, " finally someone brings a real rifle ". He said he see's all the stainless, synthetic wonder rifles ( which I happen to like also ) in various calibers. Seeing a wood stocked, nicely blued rifle in 3006 was refreshing. The 700 Classic did not let me down. Congrats on yours in a super classic caliber!
