Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 30-06 is still a great cartridge

Bickering and personal oxen aside, the fact is that the .30-06 is still a very good cartridge with more flexibility than most.

My SILs got .30-06 rifles as a wedding present. Except for the last one, who already had a .300WSM. He got a 7mm RM.

38 years of big game hunting and a .30-06 would have worked just fine every time I've squeezed the trigger.


Still, not my first choice most of the time. Too many options, too little time.
