My daughter just returned from visiting New Zealand and naturally brought me some of their current gun rags and i see that the Baikal double rifles in 30-06 and 45-70 are listed for sale for $1595 NZ - which is around $900 US.

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