Any of the newer centerfeed long-actions. They're basically all the same as far as the action goes, the different model numbers and letters just indicate different attributes (stainless steel or blued, sporter or heavy barrel, etc.)
I basicly want to end up with a 114 with a HB and some nice bottom metal and nice wood.
I don't thaink J Baker meant either.
The OP asked about the .30-06, which is a long action. So any of the newer centerfeed long actions would be his best choice for a .30-06. If you want a short action cartridge I think a short action is the best choice even though I have a .308 on a 110 long action that works just fine.
I see that there is a new 110 action for sale in the ads here. Might be a good start.
Maybe it was an "aha" moment Jim.
Adding on to Jim's suggestion, most people look for the top bolt release version for builds
I went with the 11/111 bottom bolt release on my build... I'm left handed so I don't have the same available actions/parts that right handed shooters do. I bot it brand new right off the shelf and tore it down. My suggestion is to buy a 11/111 chambered in 30-06 already, (or .270) that way all you have to do it swap out the barrel, get a new stock or chassis, and you're good to go.
Right, I missed that he had specified a cartridge in the original post. Wasn’t being sarcastic.
I was a little confused that you said they’re all the same. Savage told me over the phone that they’re still going to make short actions, but I have my doubts given what other manufacturers are doing (basically making long actions with magazine plugs and bolt stops).
