Have you considered a pump instead of an autoloader? If you are NOT dedset on an autoloader, you should check out the Rem 7600's. Many, including myself, opt forwhat we percieve to be betterreliability of the pump action over that of the autoloader. The 7600's also come with a fully freefloated barrel and I have found the accuracy to be excellent. They also handle and point extremely well.

Here is a pic of my 7600 7mm-08 and a 100 Yd target shot withmy 154 Grn Hdy RN "Woods" Load.
Dark squares are 1/2", light squares are 1/4" - target shot @ 100YDs.


Remington offers a 7600 carbine version in 30-06. Also, Grice Gun Shop is currently offering special run 7600's in 35 Remington, 35 Whelen, 30-06, 300 Savage and 7mm-08. http://www.gricewholesale.com/specials_7600.php

I chose the 7mm-08 as I wanted a dual role rifle capable of handlinglonger range open field huntingas well as deep woods andyet easy on the shoulder for lots of practice. For a dedicated woods rifle, I would think that a 7600 in 35 Whelen or30-06 carbinewould be extremely hard to beat.
