sold my collector gun at the gun show this weekend... I had hoped to trade for another .270, but there were only 2 in the whole place, & I ended up walking out with cash, rather than a replacement...

... I'd like to find a good used Remington 700, but I stopped by Cabelas on Sunday, to see what was available new... I really don't want to spend much over $600.00 & they had several I might consider... I haven't really looked at the new Weatherby Vanguard bi color composite stock...

Ideally I'm looking for an older nice wood & blued gun, or go the other way, & get stainless composite... I'm not as much of a fan of guns that are 1/2 way there, with composite stock & blued metal... though I do like the laminated wood & stainless guns...

suggestions ???
