You want a classic?? Buy one of the new Winchester Model 70's in .308 Win. or .30/'06. Or, if money is no object. buy a pre-64 Winchester Model 70 in either of those two calibers, or in .270.
The Model 70 of the pre-64 design is still known in America as the Rifleman's Rifle. It will always be so.

I do not know what your budget is but if you can go for it get a Cooper To me they are the best, And you can ask anyone on here, and if they no their guns they will tell you there is not much better than a Copper you get what you pay for.

RE: Buying First Gun...Help
Thanks for the help guys. I went and looked at a few different guns today. Im looking at the 30-06 caliber. In the price range between $500-$700. The guy at the shop really pushed the Remington 700 synthetic stock, but I kinda want a wooden stock. The 700 wooden is a bit more expensive, and does not have a floated barrel. He really shut me down on the Browning, but I kinda like the A-bolt. I am now being swayed towards the CZ 550. Gonna go hold some more tomorrow. Let me know if yall have any more ideas. This is probably the hardest thing that I have ever done.

And for the Remington I have not found one dealer that does not push the Remington if that is there main rifle they sale.
And as for the CZ 550 not bad but I would take a look at a Tikka to me it is just better than the CZ.
