The '06 is GOOOOOOD! I love mine. Savage 111 composite stock. Very accurate. Ammo available almost everywhere. You could pretty much kill anything in North America with it. As many have said if your looking for just one rifle, this is it. As far as not being perfect for anything, I have to disagree.
Rifle, Ammo, Shooter. Those three must be matched to each other.

30-06 is good!

Hard to disagree with the others. The 06 is one tough cartridge to beat, great selection for bullet weights and every manufacturer offers this chambering in just about every model, sans lever guns that is. You mentioned the 270 and going to Canada, I would also consider the 300 Winmag or the 7mm mag, both of which have factory loads readily available wherever you go.

mossymike,

My vote is for the 06, even though I own several different rifles and calibers, I reach for the Ruger 06 most of the time.

My two cents.
