[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1496444, member: 30902"] The reason for that segmentation is just the history of the round. After each of two world wars and Korea the country was literally flooded with cheap, used surplus weapons chambered in 30-06. As a result by many times over it became the most popular centerfire rifle for about four or five generations of Americans who grew up shooting Grampa's Deer Rifle, passed down generation after generation. With the feminization of the military and standarizing of the NATO .308 a slow decline began. The advent of the .270 which was much flatter shooting made a big change in the western states thanks to Jack O'Connor. It would be hard to find a collection though that predates the eighties where there was anyone serious about deer, elk, or moose hunting that doesn't include at least one 30-06 though especially in rural and blue collar homes where those cheap military surplus rifles and sporterized versions became ever so popular.
