RE: Best 30-06 for the money.
I see you are from Atikokan. I used to hunt alot around Ignace. Truly great country. As for your rifle, check out the Tikka T3 stainless/synthetic. It is nice and light, will outshoot just about any thing else short of the big dollar rifles and even will outshoot most of them. It also has a removable clip. They retail for around $800.00 CDN.
