RE: 30-06 jack of all trades master of none?
I always get a kick out of these pro-mag conversatoins. My buddy and I were hunting elk/deer and we (& our .270s) ran into another hunter who had a mag of some sort and he scolded us for our yote-guns, told us he wouldn't even use a 270 to dig rock out of his garden.. I told him I wouldn't either and have a nice spade for that. Anyhow, never saw him again but my buddy filled his elk tag that year with one shot.
The 30/06 is the jack of all trades, but the master should be the one squeesing the trigger.
