Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 30-06 vs 280 rem

For hunting big game, as the OP said, how is it more versatile? What big game animal can the -06 take that the 280 (preferably AI) can't?

Pronghorn, both
Deer, both
Elk, both
Moose, both
Wolf, both
Mountain lion, both
Black bear, both


Now if you live in AK and hunt the big bears you may want the -06 over a 280, but that's a very small percentage of hunters.

Both can work up close, but farther out I'd give the edge to the 280, again especially in AI.

Way more versatile? Not seeing it.
