The 30-06 Springfield is my current favorite because of a custom rifle I got a couple of years ago. Of course the 06 Springfield is the most famous cartridge in world history being on the winning side in both of the only World Wars! When I started out in the 50's handloading, target shooting and hunting the 30-06 was everywhere. They gave us 06 ammo free at the club. Note it's 22" octagon barrel.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww15/Donmartin29/100_0032.jpg)

As much as I like my Remington CS 300 WM, I'd still have to say my Husky 06 will get the reach as it recoils a lot less.

I like the 30/06 for moose and the only deer that I ever shot that dropped in it's tracks fell to the 7.62 X 39 but if I had to pick one 30 caliber for everything it would be the 308 Winchester.
Leave the gun, take the canolis.

I bought a 700 in 30/06 when I was in high school in 71. It has never let me down. I've shot 180 bullets in both factory & hand loads. Killed everything in the lower 48 & a South African plains game safari. Someday a grizzly hunt in AK.

I would have to go with the .30-06 but I have 7.82 Patriot by Lazzeroni that can make a .30 caliber pill sing!

300 WM is hard to beat. Same ammo availability as an 06, for those unfortunate soles that don't hand load, with more flixibiliy up or down.

Operative words, "ALL NA Big Game" to include brown, polar bears and moose, the 300 Weatherby would be my choice..
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

30-30 and 300 savage. I have never owned a 30-06, I know my limitations and I limited myself to the .270.

303 Savage is a great cartridge, too bad more shooters don't realize how much they are handicapping themselves with a 300 magnum:<)
