Remington 700 stainless, old-style trigger, .30-06.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Ruger Predator. 308 for the component factor, but wouldn't bat an eye at the Creedmoor either.

300 Win Mag or a 30-06
You pick the action, Winchester is nice or something else.

700 stainless CDL (think you can get of for under $1000 but not sure). Chambered, of course, in 30-06.
Only a fool would sell an accurate .30-06

mailmanmark,
I would rebarrel my 6.5SLR to .30SLR. It would match a .30-.338 Win Mag. The weight normally would be about 7 pounds. If I was going for big bears the scope would be changed out from the 5-25X to a 2 1/2-10X so the weight would drop a few ounces.
