Thinking about a new .30—06

I'm curious to hear an update on what the OP eventually decided on, if anything.

I'm thinking about giving my son my mid 90s pushfeed Winchester m70 with detachable magazine and upgrading my ’06. If I do I'd be want to spend up to $1200 and I want something that's pretty weather resistant with an internal magazine with floorplate and a 1:10 twist. I'm looking real close at the wetherby vanguard. What are your thoughts/opinions?

@MISportsman
Nought wrong with the Weatherby vanguard mate. It's made at the same factory as the Howa. Just an upgraded version of the Howa with a Weatherby stock. Usually very accurate straight out of the box.

I'm sorry I haven't been on line in a wile. I have found another model I am looking very closely at. It is the new CZ 600. It looks very impressive, but it comes with a 20" Barrel... How would the '06 preform with a 20" barrel???

@MISportsman Might lose 100fps compared to a 24"tube but in reality that doesn't make much difference in the field.

Very true. Had one in 300 WM. Accurate, mild recoil. Took a cow elk with it. Heavier rifle but it helped being a magnum. Very good quality. Would buy again.

Be brave, be satisfied. Get this in stainless with the laminated stock and you are done.
