I'd choose the 06 without a doubt!!!
They are EQUAL in TRAJECTORY for my needs - With either rifle you can hold right on out to 300 yards if they are sighted accordingly, which will take care of 99% of my shots (most are within 100 yards).
But the 06 has a huge ADVANTAGE in bullet OPTIONS - you can load it down to a 120 if you really wanted and up to 220 grain. With the 7mm you're limited to 170 grains. In BIG BEAR country where many moose, elk (& MT^BOY's) live <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>, a 220 grain in the chamber gives me the added bone penetrating insurance that I want, where a 170 might just piss him off...
The BULLET OPTIONS make the 06 an easy choice over the 7mm...
I'd rather be out there>>>
