84L MT 30-06? If so, I can't see any reason to own that rifle. It's certainly not anything I'd hunt deer with from a stand. Its highest and best use is backpack, BG hunting.

I've had two of them. A bit too much of a good thing for my taste. Bearable, but not especially fun. But I tend to run 180's in the 30-06. The 165's will tame it slightly. Slightly.

The 308 MT is a LOT more fun to shoot, and really makes more sense from nearly every POV.
