Hunting Handbook

What are some affordable, bolt-action rifles suitable for deer hunting?

I've been looking at Ruger rifles. Specifically the all-weather M77 Hawkeye .30-06.

1. weatherby vanguard 30-06 is a good one and cheap 730 in Canada
2. I would take a look at the Savage, in the plastic stock. A very good and time tested action. They represent a very good value at this time, much better than the Ruger. The Savages are a better value at this time because they are rebuilding brand loyalty. Ruger at this time is living off their reputation and charging for their name.
