best around rifle
Guys, I am looking at buying a new rifle. I am covered when it comes to small game rifles, With my .22LR, but I really want something to just go all around hunting. I was looking for a type of rifle that I could go bear hunting with one day and then switch it up and go deer hunting and everything in between. Do yall know of any rifles that fit that description? My price range would be at a max of about 500.00 dollars. Ohh yeah guys, I went out and bought a regulations book and I am going to take hunting classes come spring. thanks everyone.

30-06 by any maker. Best all around caliber out there. You can shoot light or heavy with it.
The fact that the cartridge has been around since 1906 and is still the most popular in America speaks volumes.
Check this out from WallyWorld. Still plenty of dough left over for mucho ammo!

My remington 700 sps in .270 has never let me down... itll down anything in the north east.... if your out west the 30-06 is a slightly stronger cartrage but has more drop. What i like about the 270 is that it has alot flatter trajectory than many other rounds so its more accurate down rage.
