[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 531896, member: 30902"] If you want to kill big game reliably and consistently beyond 600yds I'd say move up to the 300 WM or 300 RUM. You can find used 300wm's very reasonably priced. There have been several on the classifieds section here over the last few weeks. Think of it this way. Anything you can do with the .308win, you can also do with the 30-06, 300wm, or 300RUM. With each you are gaining greater velocities with bigger bullets which allow you to deliver the same amount of energy at greater distances. They all shoot the same diameter bullet. Come to think of it I think there's a couple of 06's on the classifieds here now. Give them a look. There's absolutely nothing wrong with starting out with a used gun. I'll say though if you go with a long action to start with though, if you decide to rebarrel later you have a wider array of options available. [/QUOTE]
