Im gonna be using one this year . so anyone wanna tall me about this gun . Im gonna be shooting white tail in ny. If you wanna see the deer i shot look in my photos

 

Great all around caliber, it will take any game in North America depending on the load, and there are more loads for the 30.06 that any other round.

 

whats there to say that already hasn't been said over the last 98 years? Can't see using any more than that.

 

I love my 3006. the only other big game rifle I would buy to replace it is the 7mm mag.

 

the 30-06 is a great gun its real good for deer. not much better than an a30-06

 

It will do you good, it was developed in 1906, and is a .30 caliber. That is how they came up with .30-06. Good luck hunting!

 

great gun.....I used one for quite a few years....

I would stay away from ballistic tip bullets though on deer. I don't think the gun has enough velocity downrange to make the bullet expand fast enough unless it hits something hard. I shot a deer right though the ribcage (double lunged it) w/o touching a rib and you couldn't even tell the deer slowed down (until it rolled end over end and came to a sliding halt when he ran outta breath). Lucky I didn't hit him in the hind quarters on my second shot!

 

GGRF- What kind of 30-06 will you be using?

I'm going to buy a Remington pump. I shoot with both my right and left. So, I don't want to limit myself with a right or left bolt action. I guess it would just be easier.
