30.06
 

hey guys, im about to buy a 30.06, which company would be the best, and reasonable in pricing? what is your oersonal experience, thanks

RE: 30.06
 

Weatherby Vanguard Synthetic...399.00,
and shoots great right out of the box..

RE: 30.06
 

My personal favorite is the Browning A-bolt. I also own a Rem. 700 in that caliber, also, that is a close second.I have never shot a Vanguard, but I am thinking about getting one soon due to all the good reports I have heard about them. Shoulderall of them, and buy the one that feels the best.

A Howa excellent bang for the buck

RE: 30.06
 

I'd check into Savage. The accu-trigger is very nice.

RE: 30.06
 

cville - Newton said it best. Find the one that fits you well and feels good to you. You will get good shooters and 'lemons' from every manufacturer - just like cars. However, that being said, I've seen the Vangards in Walmart for under $400 and if I was right handed I would probably have one. However, being lefty I've owned Remingtons and Savages and I'd lean toward the Savage.
Good luck on your purchase.

#1 Review all the "fearures" you most prefer.



#2 Look at all the models with those features in your price range.



#3 Go to the gun shops and inspect for workmenship and of course "fit".



#4 You will knowwhich onewhen you shoulder it and rack the bolt.



The "right" gun will end up picking you !!!

I had the opportunity to shoot a Savage with an Accu-trigger a few times. To be honest I didn't like the trigger at first it takes a little getting use to. I shot the same gun (my nephews) the fourth time a couple of weeks ago and decided toorder one last week. I would've never guessed I'd own a Savage, but they are making a good product for the money right now. So if the Savage feels good and fits you right my vote is for Savage. You may also want to consider Tikka and the Marlin XL7. IMO all three of these manufactures make good guns for the money. Which is very Reasonable. I hope I was some help Good Luck.

RE: 30.06
 

I'll list thebest 4choices in order from best to worse!:D

1. Remington 700 Alaskan Ti
2. Remington 700 CDL
3. Remington 700 BDL
4. Remington 700 SPS (Best Bang For The Buck!)

If you recieve any information otherthan what is in this post, about the best 30.06, they are dead wrong and do not know what they are talking about. This is the only correct answer.

RE: 30.06
 

Boy someone in here is a true Remington fan. Probably because of the fact that they are so close minded and can't accept change even if its for the better.

Lighten up Bronco, it was obvious I was just joking. No need to get personal. I don't even own a Rem 700 30.06. My 30.06 is a Browning A-Bolt. My .223 is a Savage with an accu-trigger, I also own Winchesters, Marlins, Ruger, Rossi and more. I do however own several Remington 700's and they are, by far, my very favorite rifles.:D

RE: 30.06
 

OK colorado - I apologize. I didn't mean that to soundpersonal. Just sort of came out that way. It just that a few people in here think whatever they have is the greatest. I know there are some people in here that all they own or have ever owned is Remingtons and put down other manufactures even though they do not have any experience with them. And that really gets my goat. And like Duval said... buying a gun is like buying a car. To each their own.

RE: 30.06
 

No problem, I know exactly what you are talking about. I love your new signature line! that's some funny stuff!:D

RE: 30.06
 

I have a Savage and it shoots great. I was thinkng about upgrading to a Rem 700 till I started to load my own. Now I dont see a reson to. The stock is a little dinged up but a new polymer stock will fix that up.I didnt know what roling my own would make such a differance. If I buy a new Center Fire Rifle I wont get another 30.06 cuz I love my Savage right now. I will however get a bigger caliber in time. .338???:)

:)Who is the best baseball team.... who has the best football team... which is better Ford, chevy or Dodge?
hehehehehehehehehe lmao
Heeeeerrrrrrrreeeee we go again!
I think what sheridan said pretty much sums it up... look, hold, fondle them all..... the right rifle will pick you!
On a personal note... I have them all... yup, shot pretty much everything made here or imported at one time or the other and.... IMHO only, will say that although I once was a devout Remington fan, here of late big green has been turning out some turds.(my opinion,I can say that. Don't mean it's right!lol)I have been sporting Savages for many years and prefer them over all the others. TheSavageshave proven to be the most accurate consistantly and less expensive thanmost ofthe others.
Tikkas are.... well, they are... n..ni..nice!
Hey... do you know the difference between a accurate rifle and a very accurate rifle.....about a thousand dollars.(laugh) hehehe
So, decide how much you're willing to pay for this thing and go from there. Evaluate all the models in your price range then find them at the local shooting emporium and fondle them... the right rifle will follow you home!

RE: 30.06
 

For me, shooting is like flyfishing. I have caught just as many fish with my $100 St. Croix asI have with my $500 Sage. A poor carpenter blames his tools. It doesnt matter what you get as long as it shoots straight and it puts meat in the freezer. :D

RE: 30.06
 

Go ahead and get a Rem 700 in 30'06.Believe me,you'll be glad you did.

RE: 30.06
 

Well whatever brand you decide to get just make sure it is a .30-06!

RE: 30.06
 

Thanks for all your help guys, im going to see which gun feels good, and isnt overpriced:D

RE: 30.06
 

i'm kinda partial to my smith and wesson model 1500 '06, but they don't make them any more.

RE: 30.06
 

Gotta love the Remington 700. By far the most popular selling rifle. 30.06 by far the most popular selling caliber.
