[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 255309, member: 2693"] It may not be true for many of the members on this site, but a lot of hunters, world wide, if given the choice of only one rifle to have, it would be the 30.06. You can certainly do well with one to 600 yards. The caveat for you is factory ammo. And, the .06 isn't really known for being a "long range caliber." On the flip side, you can use Lapua brass if and when you decide to roll your own. My suggestion is to get a 7mm Remington Magnum and be done with it. Now you have a 1000 to 1200 yard rifle. 7mm bullets have better BCs. But again, your shooting will improve with homemade ammo. This caliber isn't picky, shoots well, and you don't need more than a 26" barrel. [/QUOTE]
