I am in the market for a new rifle in 30/06 or 7 Rem Mag. I recently sold a few guns that I didn't have any use for any more and want to turn this $$$ back into guns that I am wanting. Kinda looking at the Remington 700 ADL, Savage Stainless/Synthetic, or the Ruger 77 MKII Stainless/Synthetic. I had a 30/06 years ago, and am sort of leaning that way. I know nothing about the 700 ADL. Is it a good enough gun, or would it be better to go with the 700 BDL?? The local shop quoted me $350 + tax for any 700 ADL, or $425 for a trade in 700 BDL. The BDL has blued steel and glossy wood with the monte carlo stock, and it is in 30/06. It looks spotless, and already has the rings and a cheap scope, that I would probably sell on ebay. I was leaning toward stainless or the matte finish of the ADL, though. As for the other 2, I own one Savage .243, it was one of the package guns with the 3x9 Bushnell scope on it. The local Wal Mart has the Savages (no scope) on sale for $320. Ruger... My son and I have hunted with Ruger 77MKII stainless 25/06's for several years. The local shop quoted $450 OTD on the Rugers. Depending on what I get (700 ADL, $350 x 2), I might get the 30/06 and the 7 Mag.
Any suggestions??
