RE: Need your help with purchase! What is the best .30-06 rifle in your opinion??
The '06 is a puzzycat, and will do whatever, wherever, whenever....and I'd harbor zero shame if that's all I had to work with.
Tons of reloading options, tons of factory ammo options, components/factory rounds are for sale on every shelf wherevermost any self respecting hunter would travel to hunt.
True, the wheel's been reinvented numberous times, and many can like other chamberings better....but there's no flys on an '06.
A Rem 700 is, IMHO, the best bang for the buck regarding platform....
