Don't get a 30-06

[Mac308]

Another 30-06 kill... tracked him until I got a shot at 50 yards while he was laying in his bed. 168 TSX did the job. The outcome would have been no different with a 308 or 6.5 CM.

3006 will
Shoot anything in North America. Get different grains

The list of reason TO get a .30-06 is as long as the list of reason NOT to get a .30-06.

All depends on priorities. I personally think 308 is a better option in virtually every scenario, it does almost everything as well as an -06 but noticeably less recoil. But, TBF, in the real world, a 243(insert your preferred cartridge here) will git critters as well as anything else too sooooooo

Also, theres not one thing boring about meat in the freezer.

yup. Rifles and cartridges are easily the least important factor in any hunt. so many other things are more important. Boot fit, backpack fit, good ranger, good sleep setups. any cartridge (within reason) will kill and anybody who shoots even a bit can pick up any rifle/scope that's sighted in and shoot an animal.
