If you want a decently-made .30-06 rifle for less than $400.00, I suggest the Savage. Maybe not the prettiest rifles made, but they tend to be very accurate, are designed to be safe and (if you get one with the Accu-Trigger), have one of the best, if not THE best factory triggers around.
I have an older Savage Model 110E .30-06 I bought from a friend. Very accurate, normally between 0.75"-1.0" @ 100 yards. Plus, I like their tang-mounted safety. I REALLY like the tang-mounted safety on my Ruger M77R, but they changed the safety when they went with the MKII. Only God knows why!

Oh, come on Oldelk, you know its true. If anyone has ever sent a rifle in because of Low accuracy, you know how much of a ordeal it is. Alot of people don't know but Remington even has a specification. If you call them and tell em you 700 is getting 3" groups with a 300RUM, you get the classic answer, don't sound right, send it in and well take a look at it. They don't specify what the accuracy is. Well, after they played with it for 2 months, you get it back with no change. About the third time sending it back you realize its a waste of your shipping dollars and something has got to give. I seen a 338win mag sent back three times to the custom shop and they ended up ruining the gun believe it or not, by lapping the rifling out in the middle. I was shocked. It wasn't mine thank goodness. Same with Weatherby. I know a few people who took them up on that 1.5" warranty. They ended up selling in the end.
They count on you not sending it back.

If your looking for a bolt action my first choice would be a ruger77 then a remington 700 around $450 the single shot nef handi rifle is a fine rifle and can be had at wal-mart $187 And if your looking for a semi auto you cant beat the browning BAR but the remington 742 is used by a couple of guys in my club with never a problem.
