I have a chance to pick up a unfired Remington 700 BDL in 30-06 with wood stock for around $750. This is the 22" barreled version. I currently shoot a POF .308 autoloader but want to get into a decent bolt gun that can be upgraded. My first thoughts were to stay in .308 with a Savage 10 series since I currently reload .308. I can easily add '06 to my calibers.
Is the 30-06 and the 700BDL a decent rifle for distance - distance for me is 600-800 max.
