Last data I read was that the 30-06 is still the most popular in the state. Of course what would you expect when the world record Brown bear was taken on Kodiak Island in 1952 with the 30-06 and the official state rifle, as voted on by our legislature, is the pre 64 M70 in 30-06

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
