[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 726097, member: 5168"] I have three 30-06 rifle's. One is an M1 Garand (CMP SA), 1903A3SC, and a Remington 700DXLH. The latter kicks the hardest, and is the only one that has a Limb-saver recoil pad on her. As to taking large game with the 30-06, its all about bullet weight and design. If your going after dangerous game nothing is better than a 220gr monolith slug, brown bear, moose, and elk will fall to her. Several PH's in Alaska are known to take the rifle away from hunters who show up with their new blaster cause they can't hit what they are shooting at. Most PH's I've dealt with would rather that you bring a rifle you are competent with, and can hit with. Yes the old 30-06 is at the bottom as far as respectable in dealing with a Brownie, but with the right loads she will do her job as long as you can do yours. I use several different loads in my 700 just for this reason, light skinned its between a 150 to 165gr load staying about 200fps from the top, and do my best to keep my shots under 250yds. Everything else depends on what I'm hunting and where. [/QUOTE]
