[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 953729, member: 30902"] With your needs I'd still stick to the 06. Everyone has their favorites, I don't even own one but for your needs it's just the right way to go. Later on if you want to rebarrel and move up to the 300wm all you'd need do is open the bolt face and put a nice custom barrel on it. It's a little more HP than the 308, 250fps or so slower than the 300wm. It has considerably less recoil than the 300 with the same wight bullets and not enough increase in recoil over the 308 to matter. Best of all there's nothing in N. America you can't kill with it with one well placed shot out to 600yds, and you can find factory ammo for it literally anywhere that sells ammo for rifles. It may not be as "cool" as lots of calibers on the market today but again it's probably killed more medium and big game in the US beyond 100yds than any other caliber. [/QUOTE]
