I used to have a Ruger #1 in 30-06; traded it in towards a nice shotgun. I still have a lot of ammo, loading dies, etc, and am thinking about replacing the 30-06. I will be punching holes in paper, not hunting. I like an accurate, smooth and good handling rifle. I am currently looking at an assortment, all of which are roughly in the same price bracket, give or take a $100 or so, the used items are lightly used, say in the 95-98% bracket. Which would you choose?
Winchester 70 Classic DBM (one of the newer ones)
Remington 700 BDL
Browning A-Bolt II
Tikka T3 LIte
Browning X-bolt Hunter
Have never fired any of these, except I do have Tikka T3 lite in .223, which I like fine, won't win any beauty contests, but does the job.
thanks, Ed
