Default remington or weatherby?

On a budget. The remington 700adl with laminated stock in 30-06, or the walmart weatherby (howa) with wooden stock in 300 weatherby magnum?

The remington is $430.00 and the "weatherby" is $470.00.

I like the remington's feel, and the open sights. But the weatherby has better customer service if anything goes wrong with it.

Which one would you choose for a hunting gun?

I'd say Remington shoot's good and made in the U.S.A just my opinion you look in my gun cabinet you'll find more Remingtons than anything else.

Take a close look at the barrel length on that Weatherby Vanguard. It is, I think, a 22 inch tube. This is too short for the 300
Weatherby. You loose velocity and get more muzzle blast. If I had to chose between two 30.06's I would go with the Weatherby (Howa) because that is one slick action.

Howa, uhhh Weatherby, but I would stick with a 30-06 instead of the 300 WBY.

If they were my only choices it would be the Remington 30-06 . But wouldn't choose either one if I was looking for a rifle . What are you going to be hunting with it ?

Elk, Deer, Hog, Bear, Bigfoots, Mulies,

It would be an "all around" gun.
