Addicted, you're lucky they took away his moderating powers.  You'd be banned for an outburst like that.

I never banned anyone while a Mod. hmm you might have been a first though

But please let me know if my 7mm findings were off?

and i've got one or two more to add to the list I didnt think about before. the 275 H&H(aka 7x57), the 7mm dakota, and the 7mm mashburn(super magnum).   

heck, if all you want to shoot up to is 170-180 grains you might as well go with a 7mm cartdridge, and if you want to go 200 grains and up you better just skip the 30 cal cartridges and go straight to the 338's.

Probably too late now but my vote would have to go to the 264 Win Mag (I'm on a mission to resurrect the cartridge ) Especially if you handload. But even if you don't there are still some really good factory loads available now....Just stay away from ammo from remington

Use your 30-06 and take the money you would have used on a new rifle and maybe upgrade the optics or buy a handgun or some new binoculars.  Just my opinion

   Nothing wrong with the '06, spend the money on good optics.  Put a good scope on the '06...

Open sight 30-30!

My go to gun! My granddad had it made and gave it to me, excellent deer rifle!  I wouldn't hesitate to use it on elk, but I got a 338 for that. I wish they made 160gr bullets, hornady had some but not anymore. Cabelas has a 50th anniversary edition that would be awesome to own.  I'm running 140 grain accubonds now, it's a tack driver!

Good optics makes sence. A Leupold vxIII 4.5-14X40 would be a good choice! Maybe yuo want a different rifle, I am a big .270win guy, but I have an equil love for the 30-06. Brownings are nice!

[duckman nale]

270 win or a 300 win mag is my pick

So what happens when your eyes are bad enough that you can not longer see the front sight?   

[wraithen]

Time for better glasses? You could always perform the dreaded abomination maneuver of mounting a scope I guess, but that gun would be crying from just the idea.

I have already moved on to scoped rifles.  I need bifocals badly.  300.00 for just the lenses... not happening....
