No fear in getting eaten by a black bear. hehehe But still I should like the 30-06, say throwing 180's or 220's.
The Tikka will offer you that fast follow-up shot, with its 60 degree bolt throw,but with your shooting ability you wont need a second shot.... right? lol
And you'll be able to use that 30-06 for anything else that roams the MN woods!
Oh yea.... get a Savage... just a thought hehehe I like a Savage better than a Tikka, but both are good.
Have Fun-
