[QUOTE="82ndreddevil, post: 595107, member: 36912"] My first hunting rifle was a model 700 BDL in 30-06, it is a great rifle. For the last 8 years I have been using the 300 win mag in a 700 as well. I love this round! I think it all depends on how far you intend on shooting. If you do not intend on shooting beyond 300 yards than an 06 with a 180 gr will do fine, however beyond that distance it really bleeds off velocity and energy. The 300 win mag retains high energy at longer distances with the 180 gr bullet. The 7MM's are pretty awesome too but you can't get the heavier rounds for this caliber that you can get for the 300 which is why in my unqualified opinion I think the 300 win mag is the most all around caliber. The one big thing I would look at before a purchase is the price of ammunition. The 300 ammo gets a little costly. [/QUOTE]
