Too bad you probably don’t live near me. My local store has a Weatherby Vanguard Synthetic S2 in 30-06 on the used rack for a good price. Maybe it’s because I grew up shooting a Vanguard, but they just feel right when you’re holding them shouldered. Haven’t held a rifle yet that could quite match the feel of it. The newer ones have a 3 position safety that allows you to unload the chamber while keeping it on “safe,” and they do make drop box magazine variants.
