[QUOTE="dogbuster0006, post: 875329, member: 39547"] Two most important questions are: What do you plan on hunting? What range do you plan on shooting that game from? I don't personally own a 30-06 I do however own a 7rem mag. Both great rounds and are very versatile, lots of choices in bullet weights depending on the kind of critter you plan on chasing. If you've got a 30-06 try different loads from different manufactures and learn that gun first. The 06 has been around forever and is still very popular because its an infinitely useful round. Are there a few calibers that are better at one particular aspect of shooting than it yes. It's probably a little over kill for coyotes and varmint hunting and maybe a little less gun than some would feel comfortable chasing say moose or brown bears. However with the right bullet the ole 06 will take just about any game on the planet. If you want another rifle 7mag is a hell of a round but, the ballistic advantages of it aren't so far over the top to justify buying one if I was in your shoes. They're both similar in their energy levels and both capable of killing game at great range. Don't let anyone tell you that your 06 isn't enough gun, it's not flashy or super fast by today's standards or anything like that but, it's a proven performer on game of all sizes all over the world.
