For a lot of years I shot everything with a 30-06 with a 2x7 Leopold scope. It was my only rifle and it worked just great. Shot a boat load of deer and elk with that rifle. Had to pass on an elk a little too far out and needed a scope with more power. So I bought the 300 Win and put a 4x14 Leopold on it. Works great. I had always wanted a 7x57. It is a great little deer rifle just a touch more powerful than the 7mm08.. I went a little bigger for elk and smaller for deer. The 30-06 has been in retirement ever since. But if I had to go back to one gun, it would be the 30-06.
