Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles When will 30-06 not work?

I'm down to four 06's. My go to rifle is usually a 721 06 with a Kevlar stock, a 700 barrel and a 700 trigger. It either has a 2x7 Leupold or a 4x Leupold on it. I've had that one 30+ years. It replaced an O3 Springfield with modified military stock and a 4x Weaver and an old recoil pad that came off something else. I had that 03 for 20 years or there abouts.

I've killed more big game with those two rifles than all other calibers put together. However, I like other calibers too. No need to bad mouth anything else just to bring up the 06. The only one that is suspect is the gay cartridge...
