I would imagine you should be able to find a Ruger cheaper than a Kimber Talkeetna.
Although I see prices on gunbroker show the older Ruger's bringing more than similar pre-64 M70's .

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