YOU GOT ME ON THAT ONE DM,A FEW TO MANY BREWSKIES AT RACE TIME.......OH WELL

Probably either the .338 or the .35 whelen. Both pack enough punch to kill anything in North America, especially an angry grizzly.

.30-06 will cover all my hunting needs

What gun to pick? Depends a lot on available chamberings/cartridges the rifle could be had in, or conversly what rifles were available for a particular cartridge. For now, I guess I'd go with one I have, a Rem.700LSS Mtn.rifle in 270Win. It's not available in
308Win.
For the 308Win. I might go with one of the new Winchester Featherweights with
stainless action/barrel. Can't argue with a choice of 30-06 either, and it's available in
both of these rifles, or maybe a Ruger77 (for the 30-06).

Like a post above I say you haven't said specifically what game or situations you mean when you say "to hunt with".

So I would assume that you mean "everything that I now hunt or may hunt in the future". In that case you left out my best choice, a Rem. 1100 shot gun with two diffrent barrels. One would be a smooth bore tube with a changable choke system for all bird and some small game applications. The other barrel would be a rifled slug barrel with a low power variable scope. It would be an passable big game gun out to about 100yards or a little more (with sabot loads).

i would go with the 06 until i found out what we are hunting, but for what i hunt the 06 is plenty good enough!

308 win!!!!!

What you trying to say mossy? Don't be scared. Nobody will travel to T-Town to whip up on you. Your too frail.

Why, the .30-06, naturally.

Great classic cartridge that has held its own for close to 100 years now. I can hit the target--the bullet will take care of the rest.
