Best 30-06?

[Newtosavage]

Have a look at Cabelas "Gun Library" for Remington 700 30-06. Stick to older manf. date. Some even have scopes. New is not always better and hunting rifles are generally well kept with good bores.

While I've had some good luck at the Cabelas gun library buying new old stock (like my Savage model 10 in 7.62x39), I've decided that most of the rifles on those racks are probably there because their previous owner decided they didn't shoot well.

Or needed quick cash.

Ruger Gunsite in 308 instead of holding out for 30-06?

Yea, maybe so. But how do you know which is which?
I've sold 3 rifles now to Cabelas, and all 3 failed to meet my expectations at the range.

Back on topic, I love my Tikka T3x in '06 and fully expect to use it until I'm done hunting, in which case it will go to a grandkid. Even paying full price for it, I feel I got a great deal.
