[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 836518, member: 22069"] +1 on the Model 70. IMO, the current production Model 70's are the finest production rifles being made. I have seen some bad reports regarding current production stainless models, though. I am not sure if that represents a trend or not. My walnut/blued Model 70 is an excellent rifle. I would happily buy another. If weather resistance is needed, one could buy the blued "Shadow" model and have the metal coated. Another good option is the CZ550. It should be available in 30-06 or .270 without a problem. .338 might be harder to find. Expect to re-stock and have the metal coated if you need weather resistance. The current Zastava made Mark X mauser would also fit the bill. These can be had with a synthetic stock in standard and magnum chamberings. I haven't seen one in .338WM. I recently bought one in .300WM and I have also seen them in 7mm RM. If you have to have a .338WM, you could re-barrel and still not have more in it than it would cost you to buy a Model 70 or CZ.
