.308 or 30-06

[DVXDUDE]

When I was buying my first big game rifle I noticed my Tikka .22-250 magazine was a M and it fit .308

So I bought a laminate stainless Tikka .308 and now I have 2 magazines for both guns.

Looking for some suggestions to the age old argument... 30-06 or .308.
I've heard from friends that 30-06 is more versatile due to the availability in grain. Which makes it more ideal for what size game you want to hunt.
I also know that I've never heard of a .308 owner who regretted his/her purchase.
I live in a place with lots of deer and the occasional moose, so versatility is definitely important on that front.
I also want to consider things like cost and availability of ammo. Aswell as longevity of suggested brands.
Looking for all the help I can get! I'm a new gun owner on civilian side so I'm looking for as many suggestions as possible

thanks guys

Both are excellent calibers, but the best thing you can do is to just go into the woods and learn the environment that you will be hunting in. Dense forest vs open space , will you hunt stationary or on foot? 25-50-100 yards or more ? etc. Availability of ammo in your area and perhaps the cost per box. The best books or YouTube videos will not replace your own time spent in the bush where you will learn what works for you and what doesn’t.
