Yea there are some nice used ones out there if your at the right place at the right time. I recently bought an early 80's M70 XTR Sporter in 7mm Rem Mag for $475. But I had to pay shipping and an FFL transfer fee. Came to $522. Have you started a thread in the classifieds?
That Ruger Hawkeye is the deal for a new one though.
