I have started looking for an entry .30-06 and I thought that may fit the bill.
Wood or no wood is not a deal breaker for me.
Being able to make the shot on something bigger than a MN Whitetail would be my objective.

It is built to a price point while not sacrificing accuracy. If you are ok with that, then it is not a bad rifle. But the "bulit to a price point" will have a lot of materials and workmanship shortcomings, such as crude plastic moldings, including the magazine and protective coatings that are industrial at best.
If you want to go after a low budget rifle, I repeat to go look at Savage's offerings. Get a rifle with their accutrigger.
Generally, if you buy a well built rifle, including materials and wormanship, it will always hold its value. The new prices are going up, and your used gun will sell pretty much for what you paid for it down the line.
Good Luck!
