.30-06 and .44mag. Thinking of getting a .243 or 7mm-08 for next year. I never have been real fond of a small caliber, although I really don't know why.

I got a 25-06 sako rifle and it is absolutley incredible, it will take down any deer with little recoil and it is very accurate.

i usually reach for my remington 7400 30-06 with a bushnell 3x9x40 and usually behind that is a mossberg 500 12 gauge slug gun with a fully rifled & ported barrel and a tasco red dot scope or a marlin 336w 30-30

I use a .30-06 right now for everything, as well as my .50 ML. I have a .223 for varmints. I will get a .260 Remington this fall though for deer and antelpe, and such and then use the .30-06 for elk and black bear and such. I have a fistula in my right arm from dialysis, so my shoulder can't take mcuh recoil. I am left handed but right eye dominant.

Remington, .270. Not to much kick, flat shooting and can drill tacks. I hunt anywhere from point blank to 200 yards, the longest shot i had so far was 140, and i put it right where i was aiming, no problem. I am goin out to colorado elk hunting high in the mountains and i have no problem with bringing it.
