I expect a 30/06 would suit me just as well, but this is the rifle with which I have a hot love affair that happens to be a .300.


That is breathtaking!

I'd want my "one rifle" to be a show-stopper like that: if I only get one, it might was well be a beauty. Chambered in something that burns 40-odd grains of powder, I could easily take any NA game short of big bears, and look fine doing it.

4x32 Conquest for me, please.
