Just to swim against the current, I'd first suggest to clean the bejabbers out of that Rem Nylon 66. They have the reputation of NEVER wearing out, and it's deserved. A good scrubout of the entire rifle may return it to like-new.
But if you're buying a new rifle anyway...
It's hard to beat one of the older Rem 540/580 series.
Of the newer guns, the Rem 504, Savage, CZ, Kimber, Ruger and Marlin bolt guns are excellent - and span quite a price range. If it were me, I'd actually prefer the Savage with Accutrigger. I'd spend the leftover cash on a good scope.
