The Model T analogy is flawed. Whereas vehicles have improved greatly over the past century, bolt-action rifles really have not. It's true that the ammo companies are doing some really neat things with new and improved cartridges. But if a .30-06 kills animals just as dead as always, why even bother looking for some new fad cartridge?

I have my 700 ADL, and I feel totally confident with it in every state except Alaska (which most people never see anyway). The only other rifle I see a need for is an A-Bolt in .300 Win or .338 Rem for use down the road when I venture up into the Alaskan wilderness.
