'Need' a classy 30/06

[ben777lemay]

Sako ?

 

[Demonical]

I've been casually search for an /06 for a while now that just screams classic. What I know I want is CRF action, iron sights great walnut stock, 20"-22" barrel.

What I am considering is:
Brno ZKK 600
Brno ZG47
Husky 1600
Parker & Hale
Ruger RS

Wondering if you gentlemen you care to add your opinions and suggestions on what I have listed and if I have missed any great options.

Pics of your rifles wouldn't hurt either!

If you want all those, and you want 'classy', how is that your #1 consideration is not a Winchester M70!?

CRF, 3-pos safety, gorgeous wood, excellent craftsmanship.

I'd go with a husky. I have one, a carl gustaf, which is a husky 1900 LH in 25-06. Extremely smooth bolt action!

Not a bad list but I would replace the PH with any number of rifles using the FN Mauser 98 action. I do not think the Spanish made 98 action used in the PH is the equal of the FN.

^^ Lots of PH are built from "Made in Germany" actions!

Sako ?

Yep, Sako 75.

If I was looking for another classy 30-06, I'd be on the hunt for a Steyr 1903

I’ve posted this one lots but this is one of my favourite 30/06 rifles. A M1917 custom

 

[sillymike]

Or something like this Mauser 66

That's very nice!
- One gun I kinda-regret not buying, was a friend's 66 in 375 H&H... Don't have a clue what I'd done with it... but a pretty nice rifle nevertheless


Another nice option (while not as fancy as that Mauser) would be a Steyr M. They're also available with a regular stock.

 

[kamlooky]

Or a Schultz & Larsen Deluxe.

Although a push-feed rifle, I would choose the Mauser 66 over many CRF. There are millions upon millions of Mauser CRF actions, the Mauser 66 is a most unique rifle, like no other, especially in a stutzen.

I should have have even posted this question...... I'm no closer in my search then I was before! Some amazing rifles here for sure.

 

[sillymike]

Mauser 1996, a straight-pull, available with sights

War surplus M-98 actions? No thanks.
