Wish someone would sell an old BDL that nice, for cheap, here. You can bust on the pressed checkering, and the old style bolt.
I'll take the nice slim stock, and the bolt locking safety any day. I like the slim stock too, I like that pattern of checkering too.

I bought a Rem 78 in 30/06 in 2006 just because it seemed the right thing to do! Pavementends

I have four 06’s. Two 700’s, H&R all correct Garand, a Sako that slam fires (needs to be repaired). I almost bought another Sako, but talked myself down.

You could buy one .30-06 and hunt everything in North America without missing a beat.
I've loaded from 110 grains up to 220 grains. And 240s are still available.
I've taken it hunting for things from ground hogs, to elk and allot of things in between.
I've shot it from 0-500 yards, and an experienced shooter could double that.
I'll always have a .30-06 in the safe and ready to go. It goes on most trips as a back up cause there's more "interesting" options available.

Them boys at the deer lease say, “ If you don’t own a 30-06, you ain’t a real American”. I had to go get one after they said that.

I've got one Century Arms built on a 08-34 Brazilian. Looked at a pretty nice Rem 760 today for $299...may have to go back for that one.

That's a great price on a 760, especially if it's nice.

Local Gun Shop had a 30/06 Browning for sale for $250.00. I got down there pretty quick. Note how far back that Stryka scope is mounted. I have a Brother in Law who is an Azzhat and took most of my fathers guns and sold them to go to Jamaica. It is set up as a loaner for him.

More than one of those goggle-eyed innocents has been recovered from the local landfill and dragged here...

For me its the perfect back up rifle.
I like to have dedicated rifles for each type of hunting that I do.
But the r700 in '06 can pretty much do it all if need be. So for me its been the perfect back up rifle, as well as a loaner rifle for some friends and family when they needed something

I have a Flaig's custom Mauser 98 in 30-06. I think that this rifle with 150's is just about perfect.

You should be reported to local authorities for theft! No joke. Depending on the glass, that's at least $8-900 under market value. I'm up to my ears in 30-06's and money is tight as hell right now, but I would have bought that rifle in a heartbeat. As Finn Aagaard put it, “The reliability of the 30-06 on most of the world’s non-dangerous game is so well established as to be beyond intelligent dispute.” Put that cartridge in one of the best factory Mausers ever build and it's a winning combination.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.
