Wanna talk about them?

Well...anything that I can say has probably been said many times before, and no doubt better. But here's my opinion on the 30/06.

I own 3 rifles chambered for the 06. A Blaser R8, a Rigby Highlander and a Winchester 1895. And up until recently I also owned a Sako 75 in 06 as well.

With the exception of the lever action all are fed a diet of 180 grain projectiles, with the Nosler partitions being my favorite.

All the bolt actions are scoped. The Rigby with 4x fixed and the Blaser with a Zeiss 1.5 to 6 and the Sako also used to run a Zeiss 1.5 to 6. All scopes are zeroed at 200 yards. All run or ran QD mounts. The Rigby & R8 are fitted with irons that are zeroed at 100 yards and the R8 also has an Aimpoint H1 which is zeroed for 200 yards. Longest shot on game with the 06 was with the Sako 75 on a Thar at a lasered 499 yards. That Thar went almost but not quiet 14 inches. Closest shot was at a pig at about 5 yards, also with the Sako.

Game that I've taken with the 30/06 include Red, Whitetail and Fallow deer. Thar, Chamois, pigs, BG caribou, Dall sheep, goats, dingo, fox, cats and numerous hares.

As a side issue. Biggest game I've shot with the 308 is scrub bull, brumbies, sambar (just 1) and Red deer. Largest game shot with the 300 Win Mag is Water Buff, scrub bull, brumby and red.

I'd happily hunt anything in Australia and NZ with any one of those cartridges...loaded with the right projectiles. Each have their advantages. But as an all rounder the 30/06 is my pick.
