Try to find a mauser rechambered in .308. The one I found was around 230, but handles beautifully. Just make sure it's an FR-8, or it won't handle modern .308 pressures.

I have a new production Winchester 70. It is superb. It has the famous claw extractor for CRF, but it's been modified so that you can single feed rounds like a push feed.

Ejection is significantly better on these rifles than it is on 700's and other designs with plunger ejectors. When you're on the bench and you want to save your brass you can operate the bolt slowly and it will barely kick the spent case out of the action. When you're running the gun quickly, brass goes flying.

Trigger is nice. Zero uptake, a little bit heavier than the triggers that ship on some competitors but it doesn't have the cheesy trigger safety dingus.

Quality of fit and finish is high. Accuracy is great - mine is in .30-06, shoots cheap federal 180's in under an inch, Winchester PP's a little bit wider, 165 grain core lokts are stupidly precise.

I'm about to buy a cz 527 varmint in 223. Not sure what caliber your looking for though.

Great feedback Is .30-06 the way to go?

I think it depends what you want it for. For me, it was the appropriate balance of power, trajectory and cost. I didn't want an expensive magnum, but where I live you can hunt brown bears and bison, which I hope to do, and .30-06 is the legal minimum for the latter.

If it weren't for that I probably would have gone for a .270.
