I am just doing a poll because i might purchase a nother deer rifle and just wanted to see what most people prefer. i currently have a winchester 30-.06 and it works great but was thinking alittle smaller like a .308 or somthing that i could use on varmet. i use the 30-06 on varmet but does more damage than i want it too. but i like my 30-.06 it works great for deer and other big game but would like a smaller one too. your info is appreacted
