Looking to add a Bolt Action 30.06 to my collection.My budget range limit is $700.00 & South.What's a good name brand in that price range?
Do you want pretty, or functional. $700 is sort of no mans land. You can get a pretty functional rifle in the $400-$500 range. But to get anything a little classy $700 won't do it.
If I wanted the most gun for just under $700 it'd be a Tikka. The odds are it will be the most accurate gun at any price.

Howa, Savage, Ruger, and several others make decent guns in the $400-$500 range.
I see you are in Louisville KY. Whittakers ( the guns in the links) is not far from you in Owensboro. Would be worth the trip to see 1st hand.
Used gun racks.

It can happen, but I think the overwhelming majority on the used rack, especially at the pawn shop, were simply sold off when money got tight. Sometimes you can find them wearing good glass too.IMHO the used rack can get you a rifle that someone else could not get to shoot accurate.
Sometimes the used rack has other people`s problems waiting for you to solve.
I have bought many guns off the used rack, most are good, a few were not.
