Looking for a 30-06

Just buy a used Savage Axis for four hundred , and call it a day . You might have to upgrade the glass , but not always . I have several Savage Axis's , and know of a ton of others who use them as well....and not one issue that I am aware of ,and they all shoot like laser beams ; plus you don't have to worry about dropping or scratching them .
 
A good used 30-06 is about as hard to find as socks or retarded lieberals. They are everywhere. Check out cgn vendors and you'll find a few doz to choose from
 
I want a decent 30-06 for somewhat cheaper. Don't mind a fixer upper but I don't want to spend a fortune. I mean I WANT to but my wife might have something to say about it. Trying to get something for before rifle season in Berta Nov 1 but if it's after season then c'est la vide.
Intersurplus has a ton of em.
 
I agree with the Savage choice. Older used models could be a very good choice for something inexpensive. I love my Savage 116 Weather Warrior in 30-06. Nice features (Accu trigger, Accustock, etc.) and very good value for the money. I bought mine used, and scope was even included in the sale. A real bargain for a new hunter.
New? Used?
The new ones I have experience with are:
Howa 1500 pr'aps? Under a grand with a scope, can be had below 800. ca700 no optics.
- Quite smooth action, very accurate, feeds really well.
- Awesome for the price

Savage 110 Trail Hunter
- Very accurate, plasticky stock, roughish bolt
- Cheaper than Howa (usually)

I'd skip the Axis, unless you REALLY want new and the budget is as it is.


Used, my faves:
- Can't beat a Husqvarna Swedish mauser. I'd select a 1640 or 1900 (have both) so that they are made of newer, modern steel.
- However, the older ones like sporterised military HVAs are amazing rifles as well
