The only way a .30-06 will reside in my safe is as a donor. I have bought two over the last couple years for the actions, a Mark X that is currently under construction becoming a .376 Steyr and the Remington 78 that is the next victim here. I would get less than zero enjoyment out of hunting with a .30-06.
I knew there was something that you and I had in common!
I feel just about the same way about the venerable '06 (And; you can throw in the .243, and 7mm Mag, as well...) I, too, have a Wards M-720-B (Commercial Mauser) that is nearly completed by my local 'smith in .376 Steyr...
