This I believe.
30-06 ranks high on my list because.
Ammo is widely available.
I also handload.
Lots of ammo on the cheap, means lots of shooti g and practice.
30-06 will not bounce off a skull, spine, or shoulder.
If a poor first shot, it has mild enough recoil to make a quick follow up.
It's lighter than the Mag rifles.
Usually holds an extra in the magazine.
For hunting Moose and 'bou, it's plenty.
It would be hard to talk me out of one.
