In reply to: I know I can buy the same gun in 30-06, but I like something you don't necessarily trip over every 10 feet in the woods
Why not consider a Ruger #1 in .30/06 rechambered to 300 H&H. It is a very easy job for a gunsmith. I used to have one on a bolt action and it is a great all around cartridge and a classic. It just seems to say "plains game".
