I'm with DakotaDeer, you would gain little going with the 300 Win Mag owning a 30-06…and a really like my 300 Win Mag. If it were me, I would consider a 338 Win Mag or a 9.3x62. The 338 WM is good for anything in NA including the big bears. My hunting buddy uses his for deer, hogs and elk. The same applies with the 9.3 which I have and have used for elk and hogs.


Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.
