[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2672470, member: 796"] A simple bolt gun in .270 will kill anything in Oklahoma, and gives twice the accuracy of an AR at half the price. A .243 would do, except for elk in the Wichita managed hunts. I have a Win Model 70 (bought in 1973) in .270 Winchester with a 4X Weaver scope that has taken everything up to caribou and elk. Even if you don't reload, reduced factory ammo is available for the 30-06 you already have. Having gone from too busy to hunt at all to retired, I suggest you get on the range to shoot what you have, look at the latest ammo offerings (not every load has to be for 400 yard shots), and then go hunting with a gun you have. They still work. Then you can see about building up your gun collection. That's fun too. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
