[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 559133, member: 30671"] I'd look at the Howa's seems to be some good deals around currently. How you set it up depends on your hunting style. If you tend to go in after them-the lighter weight model with a low powered scope can be very quick. If you're more a watcher, lean toward the heavier models with a bit more scope. I'd likely go with the .308, lots of supplies everywhere, and relative to the other calibers pretty cost effective. Shoot more to hit more. My general purpose rifle is the Model 70 Featherweight, 2.5-8x Leupold, in a Brown precision Kevlar stock. About 8 lbs ready to hunt. It's loaded with 200 grain Accubonds, at 2650 fps. Bear and Elk are present most places I hunt whitetail. I mention it only to make the point, not to rule out a 30-06. I've had a rifle in 30-06 that sucked as bad as any, but it was going to be worthless regardless of chambering. With so many out there if you find a good deal consider it. [/QUOTE]
