RE: .308 or 30-006 for deer???
My vote would be for the Weatherby chambered for the .308Win.. The 54 degree bolt throw in a short action would be a real treat. The Kimber and Sako are also fine choices. I also like the other mentioned calibers of 7mm-08Rem. and .260Rem.. Ballistically and phsyical size they are very similar. The .308Win. has the advantage of more factory load selections and is easier to find ammo for. The 30-06 is a great cartridge, I belive the best all around. I however can't think of anything that it would be perfect for.
