So my father is finally going to buy a 30.06 bolt action and he is thinking Remington 700 in a wood stock but asked me what other options there were and what length barrel to get. Well bolt rifles are not my thing and I did a couple searches but it seems like remington 700 is mentioned about 10 times a day so can anyone recommend a few different good alternatives to a 700 and what length barrel for out to 1000 yds (was thinking 22-24"). Other criteria, it has to have a wood stock, be easily scoped and be light enough to hump around hunting by a 55 year old in pretty good shape and say under $700.
