I hope this post is okay, I really need some help. I have come into a little money and would like to purchase a new rifle, one to pass on to my son someday. Anyways, the only rifle I own now is a Winchester Model 70 Classic Featherweight in .270 WSM. I really want a .30-06. Now here's the deal. My budget is no more than $1500.00. My thoughts are on a Kimber, but is it worth the money? Is a Ruger or Remington just as good? I really would like an "heirloom" gun. Make sense? Thanks for all help. I really love this forum.
