Is there anything it does that a say 270 or similar, smaller caliber, lighter recoiling rifle will not do?
What say you?
I wouldn't say the 30-06 is "too much" but its "ability" is not needed for any North American big game except big bears. Many hunters would be better off with something like a .280, .270 or a .308 but their egos get in the way.
As some have said here and in the past, a quality 200 gr. bullet in an '06 is a formidable combination for the largest of our big game including all of the bears.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.
