I am sure I would like either.I would like to nab a slightly used .3006 for half of what I will pay for the new 35 whelen.I am going to keep holding out for a few more days and probably make my final decision later in the week.I can get .30-06 ammo everywhere and anywhere in any big store or small store all throughout ontario,I can get 35 whelen ammo but I believe it is sparse,as I have never heard of anybody shooting that caliber,ever.The .30-06,.308,.30-30,.270's are everywhere and my uncle has been shooting the 7600 in .30-06 for 35 years and taken a handful of moose and his whitetails every year,he once told me he has never had a jam,misfire or a single issue with his gun.
I am primarily picking this gun up for moose/elk hunting and maybe the odd bear or whitetail hunt as when I do rifle hunt I use my .35 rem for deer 99% of the time I am not carrying my .50 cal black powder.
