Well you guys have me looking at the xl7 and the xs7 now too. I have intended all along to get a .30-06 just because that is what I have shot since I started hunting. I really only hunt whitetail but might have a chance to hunt elk next year as well. I havent really shot to many other calibers and or seen what they will do as far as deer or elk go. Would the .30-06 be a good choice or should I go with something else. Thanks again for all the help and information.
