I like it and don' own one, never owned one and only fired one once. I have always leaned towards the 30-06 because I mostly shoot moose and once in awhile a bear and caribou. So for ranges out to 400 yards that old 30-06 is a good one for those critters.

If I lived in America I would probably have a light weight .270 Win. and do most of my killing with it. It certainly has all of the "right stuff" for most of the "lower 48" critters.
