Anything I would ever use the 30-06 for, the 308 does just as well but in a short action which makes a lighter weight rifle. The Lord loves humility.

So the next best thing is the 338-06. Wish they were main stream and cheaper to buy. Just might have to get into reloading to own that one. All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

As far as offspring goes the 338-06 first, 35 whelen second, 25-06 third. I own all of the above plus I have owned a .270 win, I have no experience with the other 06 offspring so I could not rate them. I am not a fan of the .270 win.
