Been looking into getting a reliable bolt action without breaking the bank. I want to get 308 or 30-06 but i only do indoor ranges so it might be a waste. What is the best bolt action that is accurate, reliable and affordable like sub 700-800. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Do you have one? Seems like an affordable option

I do not. But people on here often recommend them. They are a well regarded rifle for the price point.

Personally, I would go with 308win. While you can't get the really heavy loads, it can be more affordable to shoot as you can use 7.62NATO surplus.
