[QUOTE="Majja13, post: 1929878, member: 38796"] Lots and lots of good advice. Like has been stated if you want a new rifle get one, as 2021 is a ways off and you have time to get familiar with it and the way it shoots. The 06 is plenty of rifle. Like one poster said looking past the rifle, what other gear do you have for hunting. I would strongly advise that you have some good quality, athletic layered clothing. It doesn't have to be camo. A good pack and definitely good boots. Having had one pair of bad boots taught me money spent on boots and time to brake them in properly is way more important then a 06 vs XX Mag. Get a good quality pair of boots that fit, and put plenty of miles on them prior to the hunt. You did not say when you hunt is. But living here in the west, I have had it snowing on me on morning and 80 the next and this is in August on a archery hunt. Be prepared Nothing can ruin a hunt faster then a trip to the ER. Practice the different shooting positions with what ever rifle you choose and have fun. [/QUOTE]
