[QUOTE="NeoConShooter, post: 2923052, member: 28881"] Dear Silvershade; The 30-06 is perfectly fine for any game on the north American Continent, assuming you do your bit and put the right bullet in the right spot! These days, I figure the 7.62X51 NATO-.308 Winchester is even better because it has less recoil and that makes it easier to practice and thus to shoot well! I had a friend who shot polar bears with a .222 Remington!!! I shot Baboons, Hyena and all manner of small deer and Gazelles with a .22LR Pistol for three years that we were stationed in Asmara, Ethiopia! I also used a Remington XP-100 in .221 Fireball to kill a single Kudu with one shot. My Inuit friend used his M-14 because he had to leave his .222 rifle at home for his family to use. So do not be afraid to use your 30-06 on anything anywhere! PS. This guy named Bell something or other shot thousands of elephants with a 6.5, and 7 MM Mauser, certainly not as powerful as a 7.62X51/.308! [/QUOTE]
