Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Any love for the 30/06

I mainly hunt deer & hogs so my personal experiences on a large variety of big game aren't as wide-ranging as others on this forum. Most of the game that has ended up in my freezer was put there with a 6.5x55 Swede or my Ruger #1 in 303 British. But my Sako in 30-06 (top rifle below) is no slouch in the accuracy department. The last time I went to the range, it shot three holes touching at 100 yards with factory ammo which is good enough for my modest needs. The 30-06 might not be the sexiest or the most optimal choice in all situations but it's rarely a bad option. Whenever I'm describing it, I never use adjectives like lacking, disappointing or inadequate. As an all-around reliable workhorse that covers a lot of situations well, I'm going to give it a thumbs up. YMMV.
