I only have 1 at present but at one time I had 5 (FIVE).

IF the word venerable is appropriate anywhere it's Venerable 30-06 !

That's what I'm thinking! Hell, Brad said as much and that's good enough for me. laugh

95% of the hunting I do is in grizzly country. I opt for the 308.

Seems that those that have the loudest opinion on this subject have mostly shot deer. In Arkansas, or Pennsylvania.

My observation for a long time has remained - “cartridges are more alike than different.”

Keep going then. You'll need to list a bunch more states just to cover me.

Show me multiple species of actual big game you’ve taken with each the 308, 30-06, and 300 Mag... you talk a big talk, let’s see the animals (bigger than deer) taken with each three.

Oh wow. Games. And I "talk a big talk" by believing that more case capacity is equal to more performance! Even Captain Obvious could come up with that. Well I've never hunted with a 300 mag of any flavor and have only used the 308 on deer and antelope. And that's because when the animals get big I tend to take a 30-06. But even at that, I believe a .300 magnum has an edge over my beloved aught six.

The .30-06 is a cartridge that has stood the test of time, can't say I believe many of the rounds shooters are currently infatuated with will be around as long as the '06.

Let’s see the animals with each since you have such a strong opinion...

FWIW I've seen substantial numbers of pigs, deer (including a few sambar, which are close to elk-sized) and other medium game killed with both .308 and .30/06 and, assuming a suitable bullet and shot placement I haven't noticed any difference in effectiveness. A couple of people I know have used the .30/06 on buffalo, and it seemed to me based on how they went that there are better choices, though it is true to say that the .30/06 is better able to handle the 240 gn bullets they were using than a .308 would be.

No doubt the '06 is a great cartridge. Whatever that means. Arguments about which cartridge is better seem cabin-feverish though.

I've always been a fan of something different. I own a 30-06, and keep it because it was a gift. I've shot a couple or so, whitetail deer with the '06, and consider it to be a fine elk cartridge. That said, my little brother, who is sorta late to the game, as far as hunting and buying hunting rifles is concerned just bought himself a 30-06. He bought it because it was a favorite of our grandfather, who was a WWII veteran. I could not argue his choice. Factory ammo is lying everywhere. You could argue, that a person could buy 180 grain Federal Fusion, and kill everything on the NA continent. It isn't my choice, but the point has been made, many moons ago, "The 30-06 is never a bad choice."
