I havehunted witha 30.06 for the last twenty years and love the caliber. Last year I bought a Benelli R-1, and although it shoots nice and handles great,I guess I'm just not a semi-auto guy. I held a Tikka T3 today and fell in love. What a sweet gun.

So here is my question. Which would you choose, 30.06 or a .300 WSM? I mostly hunt whitetails in northern New England and shots (for me anyway) rarely exceed 100 yds. However, I hope to one day draw a moose permit and Iam planning a trip outwestfor a hunt.

I would appreciateany help.
