how much do you want to spend?
i used to be a remington man myself but since the late 90's they went down the hill wise on their parts and i think they are a cheap made gun now a days ( IMHO ). i would rather spend less than what remington sells for a get a savage.
but my first gun i would go to if i was you. would be a browning stainless stalker nice look to it. has a 60 degree bolt and has the slickest bolt i have ever owned.also has a tang saftey which i like better on a rifle. i get 1.080" groups through my browning medallion in 30-06sprg.
