ATR 30-06
Got one here (Whitetail Lightning), and I like it a lot. Got it about a year ago, and has been through one season of playing in the woods. Most of the time I take it to the range for target practice out to 300 yards.
Great trigger, balance and accuracy. Mine came as a package with a scope which I replaced with a Nikon. My buddies with Savage's think the barrel and it's attachment method are from Savage.
I reload my own ammo, so I don't have any ideas about factory stuff. Mine really likes the 150grain Hornady fmj-bt, 43 grains of Varget with a CCI 200 primer.
The model you are looking at with the fluted stainless steel barrel is one I would like to get also.
