I already have a .30-06 and I really don't need a new rifle but I keep on looking for something like either a 30-30, .270 wsm, or 7mm08. I don't know why but it seems like every year about this time I'm ready forsomething new to hunt and shoot with.
It's easier to justify a non competing rifle. A .30-30 for example. Possibly a .338 Mag or a .375 H&H.....the bad part about owning a .30-06 is that it takes a lot of choices away as it easily competes favorably with almost everything from the .270 cal to the 8MM cals.
If you had first bought a .257 Roberts then a .280 is a good second rifle.....see?...Darn those .30-06s!!!!!
WELL HELL YES you want a new rifle. What kind of question is that.If you have a paulse you need another rifle. I don't know what all you hunt but it seems like a good 223 or 22-250 would be a good addition. Or maybe something new and old like a 45-70. Your 06 will handle everything through the middle. Good Luck. Get to shopping.

you just read too many post like me.like guys telling you the 06 or .308 is too big for deer.nothing wrong with a new gun ,just get what you like,not what others may push you into.your .30-06 is a great cal.I have a ruger 1 .30-06 .Maybe a .243 next for you ?
Go with something like a .260 or a 7mm-08 cause they're a lot nicer to shoot than the 30-06 and if you're just hunting deer you can't beat it. I would maybe go with the .243 cause it'll be a good deer rifle and a varmit rifle. Then again, if you're looking for somthing bigger then go with the 300 WSM cause I hear that's a sweet shootin rifle. Just buy somthing cause there's ton of things to choose from and you'll probably like anything you buy haha, Just buy somthing new!!!!
