I used an 8x57 for my buck tag this year. I planned to use my .30-'06 for a doe tag later, but than didn't happen. It was a shame too, because it was a new to me load with a 150 gr. Sierra SBT at 2900 fps that was particularly accurate I wanted to try. My old load with that rifle was the Hornady 180 gr. RN at 2580 fps, and it never failed to leave an exit wound or dead deer or bear.
