I just set up my second general purpose 30-06 and plan on thinning the herd dramatically, down to a dozen or so rifles. The scheme is to use the 30-06 as my main cartridge from now on out for any big game hunting I will do in the future. The other rifles will be for shooting, home defense and varmint hunting. I started out with the 30-06 and without doubt I could have used it exclusively for the past 45 years of hunting. That said I will have a pair of 270's as backup rifles. Actually just wondering how many of us still hunt deer with the grand old 30-06.
