[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1614502, member: 92702"] I never said there was anything wrong with the old '06. It will do everything well, except it is not ideal for dangerous game, one of the requirements. While you can kill great bears with one, I would not want to be holding one if a Brownie charged me, or if I had to go into the bushes after one. I'm just not that brave. There are places up there that are so thick it would impress a Cajun from the LA swamp. Also, larger diameter, heavier, cast bullets perform better on medium game at reduced velocities. I would tend to agree with you if confined to the lower 48, but since the OP already has a .308, I would lean more toward a 300WM or a 338, unless he wanted to trade the .308. [/QUOTE]
