Is there anything it does that a say 270 or similar, smaller caliber, lighter recoiling rifle will not do?
What say you?
For non-reloaders, cheaper plinking ammo may be the most important feature of the .30-06.
We just bought a lefty rifle for Daughter #1 to use on this fall's antelope hunt (her third) and elk hunt (her first). While I would have liked to get her a .30-06 or .270, we ended up getting her a .308 Win.
I am not worried in the least that the .308 will be inadequate when compared to a .30-06. I will likely be using a .280 myself even though I have three .30-06's in the safe.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
