If you could only have one 30cal

If I could only have 1 30-cal, it would almost certainly be a 308. Toss-up between a 700 and an accurate Savage 99 (I owned one and also tried a few that I could never get to do any better than minute of moose or buffalo with).
 
Wow!, don’t hold back :)
Guess I'm a ####. Have an heirloom model 1893 that I will never sell but no longer hunt with it.
Carried a Win 94 for several years and came to realize that it was unsafe design most pointedly when a neighboring camp member had accidental discharge on unloading right in front of me. So the crossbolt safety allows you to cycle on half-####? That would be (welcome) news to me.
Yeah, where I hunt at lunch time back at camp everyone empties their rifles.
 
I picked up a rem 7600 in .30-06 months ago, finally got around to shooting it and (after hearing nothing but bad about them being rattley jamming pieces of junk for most of my life, I feel kind of dirty saying this).....I actually really like it. I tore it down, cleaned it, replaced the o-ring - it's tight and accurate, and faster than any lever gun I've owned.

Making me re-evaluate life somewhat....

Nice, they’ve been around for a long time so they must be doing something right!
