As most of you are likely aware, the old 30-06 has its 100th birthday coming up this October 15th. I have many rifles (various calibers and makes) mainly from bordem of growing up with uncles that only used their reliable 30-06 pump Remingtons. I think it's now time to fill the hole, however, and get a nice 30-06. So far, I've been thinking about Sako 75 and 85, Kimber's new 8400, Tikka T3 and I see Remington has a commemorative fluted barrel 30-06. I would have thought most of the manufacturers would be offering special 30-06's this year, am I just too early? I'd love a nice Dakota Arms rifle, but the price tag is just too much. For under $1,500, does anything really stick out as a real nice to have? Appreciate your thoughts.
