Looking for advice on a good buy for a .30-06?

[Kloppster86]

Any advice would be great. Im looking to shoot from a grand and be as accurate as possible. Price not as big of an issue but cheaper the better, in price not quality.

Anything will help!!

Thanks.

This was somewhat discussed on a different site with quotes from yet another site. The comparison was actually .308 vs. .30/06 and the claim was that the old V targets were reduced to X ring when the .308 began to dominate/tie matches. I won't get into the whole can/can't do a grand with a .308. If you have your heart set on an '06, you can have Savage build you one from the factory with a phone call. Or you can rebarrel a 110 with a custom barrel, better stock and trigger.

Current Savage offerings show less variety than they did a few years back. Hard to find a heavy barreled .30-'06 in the current lineup. There's bound to be some good used ones out there in the aftermarket, or you could maybe get one of their .25-'06 chambered rifles, and get a rebarrel in .30-'06 or maybe even .280 Remington/7mm Remington Express (essentially a 7mm-'06).

I was looking for the same thing but didn't find what I was looking for. I ended up buying a stock Rem 700 30-06 with a sporter barrel and building up from there.

Get e Winchester model 70 Pre-64 Bull gun in 30.06 or 300 magnum.

You can rebarrel to what twist you want and will have a great classic rifle.
