Well, if you "really" was an 30-06 lover as your name implies, you wouldn't have to ask!!! :&gt

I like the 30-06 myself.

I know which one im going to use, it would be the 30-06. I wanted to know what other people would use if they had these choices[:@]

We've got some thick woods here in Arkansas as well.

The obvious answer..........30-06............DEADLY!

The 30.06 with a 180 grain, round nose bullet. Stay away from the pointed soft point or plastic tipped bullets. The round nose is less likley to be diverted by brush you didn't see before you touched off the round. The pointed varities tend to deflect or begin to expand on contact with anything between the barrel and target.

i hate to tell you this, but none of the guns listed are your best choice for this situation, looks like you need to buy a new gun

. if you need to show this to the wife that will be ok

if she dosen't bite go with the 06, it'll work dang near anywhere and on anything..
