I have been thinking on an elk hunt out west within the next year or two and have decided on a 30-06 to use. Now here in the midwest we don't get much hunting time with rifles as Il. you can't hunt with one. So, what I need for someone with much more experience than I is help in figuring out which type of rifle would be best as far as brand and action. I am leaning on the bolt action side but am not against a pump or semi-auto. Checking out gunbrokers.com the prices seem to jump around quit a bit. Who makes a reasonably priced 30-06? I'm not worried about resale value as I have a habit of keeping a firearm once I buy it. I also figured that buying used I could get a higher quality gun at a lower price. If your guys could just point me in the right direction even on were to go to find answers myself that would be great.
Thanks
