I have a Win 94,30/30 and a Browning Safari,bolt,30/06 and I wouldnt let either one go.They both have their place when I'm hunting.If I'm in the thick swamps or pines,the 94 is the gun I carry.If I hunt the fields,powerlines or open oak flats, the Browning is the gun of choice.To me, it all depends on where you plan to hunt.If I had to choose just 1 rifle,I'd take the bolt action,for versatility,it cant be beat.Just my humble oppinion.
