That was a very informative post by Mr. Deer Hunter - Thank you! I'm getting differrent opinions regarding the .35 Rem in terms of what game it would be sufficient for, but the crux of my question pertained to the .308 vs the 30-06. From what I have heard on this site and what I have gleaned elsewhere, it sounds like the round that best suits my needs is the 30-06. Since I'd have the 30-30 for strickly deer in woodlots, the 30-06 would cover any "bigger" game needs should they arise (and I can only pray they they someday do).

Thanks,
Michael
