[QUOTE="Djones8030, post: 2491975, member: 92296"] The oft used rule of thumb for hunting big game in N. America is 30-06. Many great platforms, popular and time tested cartridge, and available in "hunting" platform for weight and ergonomics. I'd stick w the heavier rounds if you include elk+ in your hunting desires, and stay away from lighter, short action rounds. Ideally, you'd want a second platform for competition. These barrels tend to be heavier to accommodate a very large # rounds typically used when prepping and maintaining proficeincy.. you can also look at lighter/short action cals like the 6.5 CM etc al. If you want one rifle for both, go w 30-06 or 300 WM. Tons of load options in the 30 cal group. [/QUOTE]
