[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 2791917, member: 33119"] I understand some people like traditional styles and don't like chassis or tube guns. Hopefully you'll find something. Personally I would shy away from the 06 and go to 6.5/.260. I would shy away from the Mauser actions as well due to very slow lock time, quality smiths that work with them, and after market support. Remington's are a crap shoot now days therefore that leaves Savage, Tika, and Howa. If you go by looks Savage is butt ugly leaving only Tika and Howa. It's easy finding a box stock rifle that will shoot consistent out to 300-500 yds but if you wish to stretch it out to >/=1000 yds with consistency for $1000 your pickings start to get a little slimmer. Shooting at distance takes a lot of practice and consistent reloading. Shooter fatigue with 30 cal (30-06) chamberings may enhance poor shooter performance. Staying with a 6.5 mm pushed along at 2,700-2,800fps is easy on the shooter, allows one to spot impacts, will kill anything in the lower 48, and can stay supersonic out to 1,600 yds; not to mention high BC bullets and cost to reload. I wish you well in your search. [/QUOTE]
