[QUOTE="19elkhunter51, post: 1629568, member: 14169"] Before I could afford a dedicated rifle for varmints I loaded 110 grain bullets in my 30-06 and was lead into buying a 22-250. When I started to hunt elk I loaded 180 bullets in the same rifle and was never let down. I hunted deer with that same rifle with 150 grain bullets and was pleased with the results. I was able to make all of these loads in my 30-06 shoot sub-moa at a hundred yards. Over the years as my pocket book and desire allowed, I have purchased "game specific" rifles, 28-06 for deer and antelope and 300 RUM and 338 Edge for elk. I love all of these rifle/cartridge combos in their given use. Would I ever get rid of my 30-06's ?. Not on a bet!!! I would agree with anyone who would take a one rifle philosophy using a 30-06. Are there other rifle/caliber options? Yes. Do they interest me? Some. Does the current 6.5 mania make any sense? Sure. If you want to shoot steel and deer at 200-300 yards. I know. Us old guys just don't get it. Maybe. But make no mistake, the 30-06 is still the King of one rifle safes!! [/QUOTE]
