If you were me and needed a good bolt rifle but didn't have much available cash, the rifle would be used, it would be a 270 or 30-'06, and it would most likely be a Winchester model 70. The push-feed versions made from 1964 onward are not expensive. They have been much maligned as inferior to the pre-'64 version, but in reality, they are a lot like a Remington 700 except they have the much superior safety and trigger system of the Winchester 70. And me being me, it would have a Walnut stock, a leather, "military", sling, and most likely a Leupold scope. Do I like the model 70 Classic with the controlled round feed better? Heck yeah. But that's around a grand versus a $350 rifle that's still better than a Remington 700. Used gun shopping is fun; you never know what surprises await you.
