Sounds sensible enough, Phil.

But that makes me wonder about your choice of a 30-06 for your backup rifle... is that what you carry when you know your hunter can shoot well and you figure you won't need it? From your articles, I had assumed you always carried Old Ugly or one of your other big-bore rifles!
