RE: 30-06 model
Its a matter of preference. Both manufacturers sell quality firearms. The 30.06 is a good all around caliber and offers many styles of bullets in different weights. Personaly I own two 30.06's both of them are Parker Hale model 1200's.<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>
