Why do I want a new rifle?
 

I already have a .30-06 and I really don't need a new rifle but I keep on looking for something like either a 30-30, .270 wsm, or 7mm08. I don't know why but it seems like every year about this time I'm ready forsomething new to hunt and shoot with.

It's easier to justify a non competing rifle. A .30-30 for example. Possibly a .338 Mag or a .375 H&H.....the bad part about owning a .30-06 is that it takes a lot of choices away as it easily competes favorably with almost everything from the .270 cal to the 8MM cals.

If you had first bought a .257 Roberts then a .280 is a good second rifle.....see?...Darn those .30-06s!!!!!

WELL HELL YES you want a new rifle. What kind of question is that.:DIf you have a paulse you need another rifle. I don't know what all you hunt but it seems like a good 223 or 22-250 would be a good addition. Or maybe something new and old like a 45-70. Your 06 will handle everything through the middle. Good Luck. Get to shopping.;)

you just read too many post like me.like guys telling you the 06 or .308 is too big for deer.nothing wrong with a new gun ,just get what you like,not what others may push you into.your .30-06 is a great cal.I have a ruger 1 .30-06 .Maybe a .243 next for you ?

Go with something like a .260 or a 7mm-08 cause they're a lot nicer to shoot than the 30-06 and if you're just hunting deer you can't beat it. I would maybe go with the .243 cause it'll be a good deer rifle and a varmit rifle. Then again, if you're looking for somthing bigger then go with the 300 WSM cause I hear that's a sweet shootin rifle. Just buy somthing cause there's ton of things to choose from and you'll probably like anything you buy haha, Just buy somthing new!!!!;)

It's like saying you don't know why you need oxygen. Don't matter why, you just need it. No more rifles? That's crazy talk man, crazy talk!!
