I know I had a Winchester bolt action in 30.06 that I bought new in hmmmm in the early 80s had nothing but problems with it Now they say the Model 70 is great like the pre 64 if I have my facts right .

They offer a Cerakoat Synthetic model that is on sale at Cabelas right now for $399. They also have a Marinecoat Laminate model which is a little pricier, but a great looking rifle.

    Also like the look and reviews of the Savage 16 Stainless lightweight hunter. It can often be had for around $650 on sale.

    If I end up spending a little more, I am quite interested in a stainless Vangard (Special edition looks awesome) or a stainless Tikka.
    If you find a 16 ss lwh for $650can buy it, or let me know I'll buy three more at that price! I picked one up last spring out of Ontario for $1050 on sale. 7-08, real beauty to pack and shoot, sure is growing on me. Stock is shit but a bit of dremelling, fibreglassing and bedding it worked out well. That rifle in the 11 lwh walnut stock would be a nice set up, pretty nice piece of furniture it is...
    The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..

    Buy a used rem 700 of some sort. Can’t go wrong. Better than any budget junk you will find new.
    wonder what’s over the next hill?

    I saw a Remington Mountain laminated stainless model in .270 win today on Gun Nutz for $800. Should be a decent rifle in a great caliber.

    Looking for a first time rifle that will take deer or bear? 308 Win or 30.06 Springfield. Given their history as reliable calibers that have put meat on the table year after year, it's not rocket science.
