When I get a rifle my dad and grandpa are gonna pitch in and make it kind of a birthday present or something that I pay for most of. I was thinking about a Benelli R1 Comfortech in .300 WM but my grandpa has real strong feelings that I should get a 30-06. Theres nothing wrong with the -06 but the .300 has been recommended to me much more as a all-around cartridge. I've heard that "The 30-06 is good for everything but perfect for nothing." I don't wanna get a .300 and make my grandpa mad or seomthing and have him pull out his money.What are your thoughts?
