I own a Weatherby Vanguard in .30-06 with a 24 inch barrel.

They have one in black and stainless

Never mind the MSRP of $637 Wal-Mart has one listed for $523.

If you can not find one in a local store have them order one for you. I did that once and it worked ok, a 50% deposit and several weeks of calling the store to see if my gun was in.

Suprise him and buy him a Sako. He will buy you a diamond for your birthday......it will be worth much more than the Sako....100% guarantee. Regards, Rick.

Remington 700's are awesome guns stick to them and he wont be disapointed at all!

Just wanted to thank everybody for all thier help! I think I'm going to go with the 700...although the diamond ring guarantee is tempting...lol Thanks again...
