[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1618833, member: 9299"] Most versatile with lead, jacketed and monos from 0-400yds for medium and larger game upto and including moose and the big bears? If I can only chose one of my rifles for that criteria, I'll choose the 30-06. I've used it with 180 and 190grGC cast leads for reduced and full power loads, and for many years, used it with 165 and 180 jackets and monos at extended ranges with success. Also, it can be loaded with a few grains of pistol/shotgun powder under a 100/110gr carbine bullet for smaller game and with the .312 32 caliber pistol bullets for rabbits, squirrels, turkey etc. As a youth, it was my first deer rifle, and I even loaded the 110 spires to shoot crows, coyotes and such. It was my first caliber to shoot Nat'l Match (Garand) and 1,000 yard, so with all the experience and memories associated with the 30-06, it would be my choice. YMMV [/QUOTE]
