Jon, many years ago when I lived in Arizona I stopped by a yard sale and met a man walking out with a WR 303 double rifle he had just bought for $250 . He wouldn't even consider a quick doubling of his money ! Fortunatley he left behind a 1903 MS with quite a few boxes of Kynoch 6.5x54 ammo.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
