Brown or grizzly bear at close range, Cape Buffalo, lion, obviously elephant.
We all know the '06 will kill all of those animals & that's not the point, but I want something bigger for those listed & could easily opt out if the '06 was the only choice.
Can't imagine that most Alaskan brown bear guides would prefer their clients to have an '06 instead of a 338 or 375 in their hands assuming they shoot them all equally well (which I can).

You may not be able to understand it but believe me when I say that most Alaskan guides have more confidence when they see a hunter show up with a well worn 30-06, or even a 270, than with a 338 or 375.
Phil,
I fully agree on the shoot-ability issue, & I qualified my comment on the bigger guns to that effect.
Might be hard for you to believe too, & I'm certain you've had experiences that led to your comments, but there really are guys who can shoot a 338 or a 375 just as well as an '06.
