I found a similar rifle sitting in a rack of beat to death Alaskan village pre-64 M-70's for $650 while all the others were priced over $1000. I asked the owner why it was cheaper and was told that "the new Wincheters aren't as valuable". So I bought the newer one !

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