[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1236661, member: 90399"] I was going to say the same thing. The 30-06 held many long range shooting records for a long time. There is nothing wrong with stretching it out there. Put the money towards a scope with target turrets. And make sure the turrets match the reticle (both Mil or both MOA). Also, you do not need to spend $1,500 on a scope to shoot long distance. You do not need a magnum cartridge to shoot long distance. If you have any extra money after buying the correct kind of scope needed for long range shooting, put that money towards a single stage or turret press. A lot of people will ask in forums what is the perfect "do everything" cartridge. I don't believe in this philosophy. But if I had to pick a "do everything" cartridge, it would be hard to look past the 30-06. If the 30-06 never existed. If our choices went from 308 right to 300 Win Mag... And then a company came out with the 30-06 today but instead called it a trendy marketing name like a "30 Medium Magnum"; it would be super popular. I'm just saying... "Better ballistics than a 308 using heavier bullets? And less recoil than a 300 Win Mag? Where do it get one!!!?" :) [/QUOTE]
