Shop around for a M70 Extreme Weather in that price range. Or a M70 Featherweight if you like walnut & blued steel.

For what you paid, you can have it sent out for cerakote and put it into a McMillan fiberglass stock.

That stock would have to go.

You bought another wood stocked rifle to "replace" your current wood stocked rifle? Head-scratching. Huh? Why not have a stainless synthetic setup for poor weather & KEEP the 600 as your fair weather setup?

The Compact is fairly common and still in production. The Ultralight has been discontinued for now. Those are a bit harder to come by.

For what you are using it for, I'd say the 300 Win Mag is fine. No reason to go up in recoil with the 338.

I would sell the Savage and use the cash to fund a new McMillan fiberglass stock for the M70.

You bought it used. Who ever owned it prior got some rust and cleaned it up with steel wool. Send it off to Eddie Fosnaugh and have it cerkoted. http://www.fosnaughcustoms.com/index_files/Page403.html

Get it in a McMillan fiberglass stock, then you'll actually use it all the time. Buy a Remington SPS Stainless 30-06, replace the trigger with a Timney or Jewell or Rifle Basix. Have the full action bedded in Accra Glass gel and mount a Leopold VX-2 3-9X40mm onto Talley Lightweight rings/bases...

I'm thinking of the 750.

I have read on numerous boards that Remington took steps to improve the jam o matic tendencies exhibited in the 742. I know of hunters who use the 740 with no issues. But I'd still rather carry a Browning Automatic Rifle.

You're "not into 30-30"? How does that work?

Barrel life is longer on the 7mm-08 vs the 243.

30-30 all the way.
