I have a Remington 7400 in 30-06.

I bought it because I couldn't find a cheap left-handed bolt action. I've heard bad things about the 7400 but so far (knock on wood) the gun hasn't given me any problems at all. (9 deer with 9 shots... so I'm not really testing the action )

I love the caliber. There's a huge range of bullets available and you can buy them just about anywhere.
