What other rifles do you now currently own?
What other rifles have you shot to date and how did you fair?

If it is your first and only center fire high power, then 30-06 is a fine, fine round IMO and you're on the right track.

It won't leave you short should you return to Ohio or maybe "up north" from Ohio or out West someday. Of course buying another rifle later onis always an option if you are sensitive to the Southern folks accusing you of "overgunning" for the local fauna with a 30-06!
