For the $$$, to say nothing about performance, why not give the Ruger a try ? It has all the features, one piece bolt, CRF and a proven tract record of solid reliably in the rugged game fields of Alaska.
If you don't like it sell it and get a Talkeetna.

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