I would use the 06 for the same reasons above but bring the thirty/thirty for a back up gun. You never know when some fool is going to break your scope (like I did to my own rifle awhile back). Then you might have to make do with the model 94. In Alberta and Sask. I have shot some deer in the next postal code(with my .264 win. mag.) but I have probably killed more at under 100yds.(some with a muzzleloader)
