Days on the bench vs a few shots per year hunting. .30-06 vs. .300WSM.
My choice" Neither.
Get something like a 6.5 Creed, 6.5 PRC, 7mm-08, or .308 Win. Maybe a .270 or .280.
280AI. And a 260 are what I chose. My .280 is definitely a lighter kicker than my .30-06 rifles and more than adequate for elk at most common ranges. Still, a .270 or .280 would not be my first choice for a day at the range.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
