with no plans to ever visit africa or alaska's big bears, I always end up at the same place...never a need for more than the ol '06. How boring am I?
You are not boring, you are wise. I personally like my bullet choices to go faster than 3000 fps. I have a buddy who is a trophy hunter and he has at least, 2 dozen trophy's on his wall that fell to his 30-06 or 6mm.
One of the nice things about having one rifle you like is you get to grow old with it. None of my guns are older than 6 years. I once had an opportunity to own a 7mm Wby Mark V in 1977 but a burglary of the gun shop where it sat in lay-away nixed that. I finally was able to afford one after the two chick's flew the coop. Now it is me, my beyond explanation wife and my Loving-every-minute-of-it Weatherby, finally.
I'm proud for you.
