I can't decide if you're saying my .30-06 is good to go or not....

If it isn't let me know so I can begin shopping for something that isn't 110 years old.

My rifle choice, at least for deer, usually isn't based on anything other than what spikes my interest. I suppose I could look at some numbers and come up with one rifle and one load that I could call the "perfect" whitetail set up. It would probably be something short, light, and in 7mm-08.

But I like to mess with different things and play with stuff until I'm bored and then move on to something new. So I'll Keep making my decision based off of what interests me. It's worked so far and I've taken deer with some fun rifles. .30-40 krags, various WW2 era bolt actions, old pumps and old levers, the things interest me . And they are often what I reach for to take into the woods. And that's how I select my rifles
