I am an avid whitetail hunter but hope to in a year or two to start elk hunting too. I am looking to get a new rifle, and wanted to get one that would effectively take both.

I was looking at possibly getting a Browning A-Bolt.
Just wondering what your guys thoughts on this would be.

Wingbone

30-06.

7mm Rem Mag or .25-06

8mm/06

8mm/06!
Really just a 30/06 with a slightly wider pill. Pretty much a clone in performance.
There are probably better choices, but I already own this one, so the price is correct.

M77man

Either my 30.06 ormy 7mm Rem Mag. I givemy 7 Mag the slight edge on betterspeed and and accuracyextended ranges passed 250 yards.

Remington 710 30-06
Ruger M77 MKII All-Weather 7mm Rem Mag

30.06
Kimber, Remington, Browning
Any Good Quality Bolt Action, but 30.06 is probably the best "All Around" cartridge out there.

The Browning A-Bolt in the .270 WSM is a real sweetheart. With a 140 Accubond, this caliber will do well with either species. A 7 Rem Mag would also be a good choice. And a .300 WSM or .300 Win Mag would be more for elk, but is still a great deer rifle if the recoil doesn't bother you.

.300wm they are very good med. I also like the .270wsm

skeeter 7MM

280 Rem if you handload is a good choice.

If not then7mm rem mag, 3006or the 300's (WM or WSM).
