RE: Buying a 30.06
I'm a fan of the Winchester M-70 but there's a lot of other gyns out there in that price range. Howa has established a good reputation. Savage is attracting a lot of followers. Remington's pump is a fine gun if bolt actions are not in your liking.
I just bought a fine .30-06 in a Mauser post war action (J C Higgens) for $220. This is a very fine gun so don't be afraid to look around the used market as well.

RE: Buying a 30.06
I would go with a Winchester Model 70 Classic Sporter, Feather Weight, or Compact.
I own a JC-Higgins Model 51, and according to my resurch the rifle was made at Fabric National in Belgium. Check out "Rifles Of The World" by John Walter.
Good luck.
