I'm looking for a nice bolt-action. I went to Scheel's Sports last night and found a nice Stevens/Savage Arms .30-06 for around $350 and a couple smaller calibers for around the same price. All of them come with a package and all they really need is a final sight-in.
Is this a good deal? What should I consider for a first bolt-action and what kind of other informations?

Savage has always made good quality affordable firearms. It's a good choice.

As long as your are not trying to drive nails at 300 yards, it will do fine. A 30-06 in bolt action will kick like a mule but will drop one just as quickly. It will take just about any large game in North America and Canada. Ammo is easy to come by with a large selection available. Whatever you get, get several boxes of different brands and loads (different bullet types and weights). Not all will perform the same. Some will group better than others. Have fun.

A 30/06 is not the typical starter rifle but the Savage is a good choice. I would look for the same rifle in .308 Winchester (7.62mm NATO) as the ammo is much easier to get and the difference in power is minimal.

I say hit your local pawn shops. You bee suprised what you find in their for cheap. I got my Mousuer that way & it only cost me 100 bucks. I tell ya, those pawn shops can be gold mines.

Yes, it is, because you can't get anything good for under this amount.
