after many years in the bush and hunting mountains if i was on another back pack hunt ,from now on i will and would use just a 30-06 in my Winchester pre 64 model 70/3-10 Leupold scope,but if i had to buy a new rifle i would still just get a 30-06 but in S.S. either another Winchester ,Ruger,Browning,Savage rifle , maybe a NIghtforce scope ? 30-06 cartridge is so easy to find ammo that`s why i would take that cartridge,i also want a Harris swivel bi-pod ,bi-pods help keep rifle cleaner from dirt and really makes long shots more accurate. good luck with your choice
