Especially since you generally go down in weight with monos. I think there’s a 308 version.

I’d get rid of that metric abomination and get a 275 Rigby. Then you'd really have a great round.

........if only I would have kept the .30-06 that I had after my .270 (that I got at the ripe old age of 10) and spent all that money I’ve spent on rifles since trying to seek “perfection” - oh the hunts I could’ve had🥴

30-06, nothing more than one of the many the offspring of the 8 X 57...and almost as good as its parent. I've read that poppycock here a few Xs and YET have to find any documentation to verify it. The 8X57 is shorter TO START WITH than the 30-06. The 30-03 can be considered the parent cartridge but... Please supply a link to document your assertion. Jerry Ok, the 30-03 was an offspring of the 8 X 57, the 30-06 was a grandchild. All Springfield did was lengthen it 6mm and neck it down .015. Same head size. Springfield copied not only the rifle but the cartridge as well. Look it up yourself.

FOLLOW UP !

Now the 8mm Lebel (?) was mentioned BECAUSE of the bullet shape! Not the case. I'd be glad to read any 'authority' on the subject. Jerry

Got a butter smooth LH M70 Classic. Going to have the factory barrel duplicated then add irons and a sling swivel on the barrel which I prefer. Should be nice for next year. Have a lovely stock that has good grain and will bed it right in. Yeehaaaa.
The way life should be.

This from 16bore in a diff 06 thread. " I’m not “out” by a long shot. Just the first time I’d ever seen the ice cream shop out of vanilla...
Yeah, the ole 06 ain't very popular.  (sarcasm) They haven't heard it's TOO MUCH gun for deer ! Jerry

280: the synthesis of two Greats, the 270 and 30-06
280 for the win. So, the .280 is one of those tweeners for those who can't make up their mind?

I agree, but I use a .270 for my mountain hunting. The 30/06 is still the best all around round ever

Also Wikipedia did NOT mention the 8X57 in the development of the 30-06
30-40 Krag---30-03--30-06
Specifically stated the 30-03 is the PARENT case.
.30-40, .30-01 ("Thick Rim"), .30-03, .30-06. Thick Rim

Given a 30-30 at 12, bought a Vanguard 243 new at 14.
That was 36 years ago.
A whole bunch of rifles from 22 hornet to 338 sit in the basement now.
The 30-06 (and 270) was what the blowhards always talked about.
One rifle guys, that had no comparative experience, they tuned me against it.
Ended up with a can't say no deal on one, in a POS pump no less!
Damn thing shoots good with a DGAS load of some powder I had and
some bullets I didn't want. And kills like the hammer of Thor. Well, also
like my 308.
If I was starting over, I would just buy a 30-06. And be the guy who only knows
one gun. That just flat works!

280 should have settled the argument but Remington made sure to butcher it. They can fook up the promotion of a cartridge better than anybody. Its not nice to speak badly of a dead corporation 17rem 5mm Remington 222 rem 222 rem mag 6mm rem 6.5 rem mag 280 rem 7mm SAUM 300 SAUM 8mm Remington 350 Rem mag 7mm RUM 300 RUM 338RUM Did I miss any?
