I know I have said earlier that I wasn't a fan of Remington's , however I kind of like that model. The fact that they are 699 at Cabellas and they are in stock helps also. Everything else I was looking at is out of stock.
I was going to trade a Marlin 44 mag off for a LRR in the old 30-06, 26 inch barrel...... It seems they are about the best to deal with.
The 06 does have a lot of benifets, like avalibilty and a slight edge in velocity over the 308 but that's about it.
What say the Fire?

I never could see the benefit of a .308, an 06 has been outclassing it ever since it hit the market..

I have a place for the 06 in my heart.
After using the 308 win, I really like the round for efficiency and accuracy!
The 06 shines in it's ability to handle heavier weight bullets, but few use them.
Either one will serve it's purpose for target/hunting.

Don't trade the Marlin 44. You'll probably regret it latter...and what they offer you in trade will really insult you.
If this is going to be a long range "hunter"...I'd pass on the 08 and 06.
If you do not handload, get the 08.

The 700 30-06 will give you a 1/10 twist, and plenty of magazine latitude for loading the heavies out toward the lands.
You will be able to load bullets in the class of the 208 Amax or 215 Berger to and easy 2750-2800 fps.

Well I traded the Marlin off and got the 700. They even had them on sale today. 599, I had them put a BlackHawk rail for a mount and Blackhawk high rings. The only scope I had to put on was a B/L 3200 3x9 x 50mm firefly. Eventually I will get a more fitting scope.
As for the Marlin, I loved it but it was PIA to shoot. It wasn't bad at 50, but beyond that it patterned.

All it shows is Extended Muli Slot Base. Oh, and the rings are extra high.

I think you got a great gun at a great price. Will be interesting to see how much speed you get from that 26" barrel.

Either one will serve it's purpose for target/hunting. Love some 308, but SA 700's usually are chambered to prevent being able to reach the lands at mag length, if that matters to you. Not the case with LA's I've seen. No flies on an 06. 100fps faster with 150's is nothing to sneer at.

There was this fella by the name of Hathcock. He did a lot of good work with the 30-06 in SE Asia. I have handled one of those rifles, and if I had seen one at the 599 mark, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to walk away from it.
