Looking to buy a .306

[u/bigplumbus69]

I’m looking to buy my first 30-06 but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by the options. I’m looking for something under 1K but don’t know where to go from there. Any advice on brands/what I should avoid? (Edited because I am newer to this and put .306 instead of 30-06)

Prophet River has Howa 1500 in 308, stainless barrel for 999. They have a 6.5 creed for 699, giving you $300 to buy ammo to practice, or step up to a big game cartridge and get a 300 win mag with scope for 879. Howa is accurate, has a great trigger, and can be upgraded later if needed.
