[QUOTE="blackjh1989, post: 2346217, member: 120322"] I wouldn't spend any money on a new rifle, unless it is too heavy for you to lug around. In my 30s I walked around for hours with a Garand hunting moose. As heavy as that is, it is still lighter than my H&R 12 GA Slugger and comparible to my T/C Encore muzzleloader which I continue to carry around looking for deer. Your 30-06 should work just fine. If anything, consider investing in quality optics, if you don't already have that. The farther your target is, the more you are going to want to zoom in on it, and you really need quality optics to minimize light loss when you do that. Buy a couple different boxes of quality 30-06 ammo and see which ones shoot well in your rifle. If you can should a 1-inch group at 100 yards, again no need to buy another rifle. Just get really good at shooting that ammo from your rifle. There are plenty of apps that will help you figure out what your come-ups (in 50 yards increments) are for 200-400 yards. If you have a range where you can confirm those come-ups that would be great, but I wouldn't stress if you don't. Put those come-ups on a 3x5 card and tape it to your stock. [/QUOTE]
