Thats a pretty good price for a new Rifle,I can tell You that from all the 30-06's I've seen with the synthetic stocks shoot some really nice tight groups...if Your worried about too much recoil the Remington "Managed Recoil" Shells work great in a bolt-action Rifle and you'll have a lot less recoil to deal with!
Let us know what You decide on and everyone needs a good Rifle!
