I third that one.
Not to sound snobbish, but it is gratifying showing up at camp with a classic rifle in a classic round. Not just for generating envy from your hunting pals, but for the connection you get to the great riflemen of the past. I'm goofy over old guns, and it is hard to pretend to be Corbett waiting over a tiger kill when I am holding a gun with a plastic stock.

You won't regret swapping a few new guns for a single classic.
That said, the '06 is the way to go IMHO.
