More Options
If you limit yourself to new rifles there are still some interesting options....
If you want a 30-'06, don't forget to look at the model 70 Alaskan; it comes with sights.
In the new Featherweight version, there is the tempting option to get it in 6.5mm Creedmoor; though I would still probably choose a 270.
For me being somewhat of an old-school traditionalist; Walnut is both traditional and mandatory.
Pre-'64 model 70 rifles could be had in 257 Roberts which was an excellent choice, especially in the Featherweight. Now, that vintage caliber has been replaced by the 6.5 Creedmoor.
