New Gun , What brand do you prefer ?
Looking into a new gun for next year , 30.06 caliber ,stainless with synthetic stock. Would like to hear some good brand names and some suggestions. I have a Winnchester now but kind of want something different. Thanks !

I'm kind of partial to Winchester but I'm thinking of getting a Howa in laminated thumbhole stock and stainless metal for less than $550. Been reading reviews and talking to gun shops and from what I'm hearing they are very well built and are real shooters.

I HAVE A STAINLESS/SYNTHENTIC STOCK REMINGTON 700 BDL IN .300 WIN. MAG., GREAT GUN!!! IF YOU WANT BETTER THEN REMINGTON GO WITH SAKO, I HAVE ONE ALSO, BUT WOOD/BLUE IN .30-06, YOU WILL PAY MORE FOR A SAKO. BUT $$$$$$ FOR $$$$$$ GO WITH REMINGTON.

Everyone's got their favorites. I'd say if you're on a budget go with a Savage. If you can afford a little more check out the Tikka line. Or for even more money go with a Sako. I've found the European rifles to be of generally higher quality than the American brands.

Just about any brand of gun out there will do what your asking its just a matter of opinion ,and what you have for a budget .If you know what you have to spend it might help answer your question a little better . I have a few stainless rifles in different brands and they all work fine some just cost more than others . Myself I never met a gun I didn't like ,just some I couldn't afford .
