[QUOTE="Buano, post: 720991, member: 21641"] I love a .25-06 & use it as my primary deer cartridge. The only difference between your rifle & mine is weight, and once you are in your stand that should make little difference. The big advantage of the .25-06 is that you can thread a bullet through a very small opening if need be. I once shot a deer at 265 yards in fairly thick woods when the deer was moving across my field of view & I picked a 2-3" opening to shoot through and waited for it to get to my "window". There is no way that shot would have happened with a 30-30 or 45-70. I would stick to the .25-06, or possibly a .243, but don't see any argument for a .30-30 or a 45-70 in your situation. [/QUOTE]
