Default What rifle to buy

I am looking for a first rifle. I have a few criteria it must meet and cant seem to find one that fits and is in my price range. It seems every gun that comes close I can find something I dislike about it.

Here's my criteria.
Lever, Pump, or maybe semi. No bolts. Wood, no synthetic. .270, .308, 30-06. oh and prefer the pistol stock instead of straight like a Win '94 but not a big deal

The obvious answers and what I dislike:

Browning BLR: heard they are not user friendly as far as dissassembly and cleaning/repair, although not a big issue. The big issue is the $$$$. I would like a used one but can't seem to find one.

Marlin:
336, doesnt have the calibers due to tube fed
308 with leverevolution, who know how long that ammo will last.
1895 (I want the guide gun to take flying with me, but that 45-70 is too expensive to enjoy atthe range everyonce ina while and makes a great bear defense round but not a distance deer round)
1894, calibers

Remington 760/7600 havent heard much about them

Remington semi - heard of clip feeding problems.

Winchester 94 - calibers

I know theres a savage lever or two in there and dont remember why i didn't like em, looks maybe.?

If any one can tell me where to go, or maybe just to stop bein so dam picky id appreciate it.
