[QUOTE="rdsii64, post: 316018, member: 13978"] There are some interesting comments here. It seems that I have opened a bigger can of worms than intended. no worries. that is how healthy debate is supposed to work. First I want to thank folks for not calling someone a jack *** for disagreeing. The jury is still out on what caliber my next rifle will be. I currently own a .308 and its a fine gun. I have absolutely no doubts that if a elk sized animal showed itself at 400 yards or less I can put a well constructed 180 grain hunting bullet in the boiler room. For what its worth, my interest in the .30-06 lies in building a rifle that can kill big game at long range with out having to deal with magnum level recoil. What I was hopping for was a heavy long barreled 30-06 with a 200 grain bullet would be a good recipe for elk sized game out to 800 yards. Assuming this is a good choice, I get my cake and eat it to. I can put the smack down on large game with out dealing with hard hitting recoil. opinions welcome, and as always thanks [/QUOTE]
