I have a crap load of 30.06, 300+ rounds.

Want a bolt action, 3x9 scope, pre-owned.

Remington, Winchester, M77, Howa, Weatherby, old 1903 in a sporter stock?

Price matters but not that much, I would love to drive tacks though.....miss target shooting, yea there are more accurate calibers, I want to shoot up what I have for now.

What do you guys have to say?

Thanks!

waldo,

I have a Remington 30-06, love it

But I also have a Howa 270 and 243. The Howas shoot as good or better than the Remington,

Howa is really a Weatherby Vanguard,

They shoot great..

I have a browning a-bolt stainless stalker in 30.06. it is sporty with the black synthetic stock and stainless rifle. It has been flawless but does kick like a mule.

The 30-06 is a great round. Any of the brands/models you mention would be good. Lately Savage has been making some really accurate rifles too.

Our local gun shops all have a large number of used bolt guns. Sine the last gun scare everyone bought up all the 'black rifles' and left behind some great bolt guns.

Well if you ask Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin she'd tell you an AR-15 because it could fire those 30-06 rounds in 3 round burst up to 7 miles with pinpoint accuracy. You could probably get some type of depleted uranium rounds for it too.

On other 'news' channels it would be an "AR" just like the "AR" shotgun that ****bag used in DC Navy Yard shooting.

Soon bolt guns will be called 'sniper rifles' to make them evil and suitable for banning.

Take a look at the Ruger "American" series. Nice looking rifles for around $300 new. And they're Rugers..

+1 on the Savage, for some reason that baby gives me sub 1 groups at 100. Loooong grinding sloppy throw on the bolt though, you dry lube, adjust your style and all is good. Ruger is really good from the sniper version mountain rifle $$$ to those Americans.

I have many rifles but my main boomstick is my heavy barrelled Howa 1500 chambered in .308 win. With a Bushnell Elite 3200 5x15x50. To be honest my trusty A bolt in 30-06 hasn't left the safe but for quarterly inspection. I will give it to my son in a few years as that rifle is very dependable and I believe one could hunt the world with a dialed in '06.

Had a Remington many, many years ago and I would'nt mind having another, (middle brother has it) but i thought Id ask what ya'all had to say.

I had great groups at 100-200 and at three, I may not have the tighest group but , you'ed be dead.

We were taught to shoot straight and kill the deer with one shot, Northern Wisconson, UP of Michigan.

Move on to my early teens when I joined a rifle club and ten years later I am a certified rifle instructor and Expert/Distingushed Rifleman.

I like accuracy.

But I am old and gray, if I can clip a 9 ring now I'd be happy.

Guess I need to make the rounds of the outdoors stores.....

Thanks for the recomendations.

I hunt with a Browning BAR in 30-06. By far, it is my favorite gun. Very accurate at 200 yrds, which some guys say an Auto can't do.

My son has a Howa Bolt Action in 7mm-08.

I don't think you can go wrong either of those brands
