DrDeath,
I will put in a vote for Husqvarna 1600/1640 actioned rifle. They are a well made machine, and .30-06 is probably the most common caliber they come up for sale in. They can be found reasonably priced and generally always have iron sights and a side sliding safety. Almost all of the 1600/1640 actioned rifles are drilled and tapped for receiver sights as well if you prefer that route. Different variations of barrel length and stock configuration can be found. Older Husqvarna models used Belgian FN actions too if you are looking for older with a flag safety. My two cents worth.
Good luck to you,

This. Nice huskies sell for 450 to 600! I have one, very accurate. A Remington 798 is another option, sell for about the same money!
