[QUOTE="GPR23, post: 1496275, member: 104192"] My first big rifle was a 30-06 mostly cause my buddy worked at the gun shop and I got a good deal on a really nice used gun. Shot a lot of deer, antelope, and elk. The gun was so good, accurate and reliable it developed a reputation and many friends borrowed it when they had issues with their gun. Once i got into long range shooting the 30-06 was my go to gun. I shot it so much i burned the barrel out and rebarreled it back to 30-06, and is still the gun i use to go hunting. Reason being is i can shoot a 30-06 all day, it doesn't recoil so bad my shoulder is sore. On my 300wm after i shoot about 20 rounds my shoulder is sore and I have a very hard time spotting my hits or misses. Plus i can take the 30-06 out to the 1150 gongs all day long and get first round hits. I'm familiar with it and will probably never get rid of it. I also have a couple 6.5cm, a 6.5prc and i still prefer to take the 30-06 hunting. Though i will admit the 6.5cm recoils less and is easier to shoot. But the hand load 30-06 and 6.5cm is ballistically very close. (6.5 fights wind better, 30-06 has more energy) [/QUOTE]
