given the various hunting enviornments found across the country i would say that the 30-06 is the best all around caliber. i have shot antelope, muley, whitetail and elk with an old remmington of mine, some out as far as 500 yrds and some close as 50 yrds. the 30-06 has so many different factory loads they will match any situation.

savage arms offers a package deal consisting of new rifle, sling, hard case and scope for like $350.
