What is a good 30-06?

30-06 kicks abit but would take any game with proper bullet around here. It's pretty easy to find ammo in 30-06 and it's fairly cheap too.
 
I have a Browning A bolt Medallon in 30-06 its a great gun with a smooth action, short throw bolt, removable magazine ,,,,its an all around gun for me, I use 150 gr for deer and 180 gr for moose.

You can't beat the Ruger M77 MK II for a 30-06. Go with a 180gr cartridge. Ammo is cheap and plentiful. I believe scope rings for the Ruger are Ruger-specific, so keep that in mind.

Unfortunately, you just missed a great deal for one on the EE.:(

Don't forget the Springfield M1903 (not a Canadian design, but still a damn fine rifle). I've had one since I was about 13 or so, and it's still my favourite thing to shoot :)

I have used several

- Parker Hale, with a internal magazine and no floor plate. It was a good shooter, not very practical for "truck hunting", or if you are the type of hunter that shoots alot and hits little or needs 5 or more shots to bring down an animal.:D I usually shot 4-5" at 200yrds with this one.

-Tikka T3, detachable magazine with available 5 shot mags, comes factory with a 3 shot. Really good shoter, acurate out of the box. Mine came with an adjustable trigger, lowest setting was 1.5 to 2lbs. I shoot 3.5" @ 200yrds with this one, with a bushnell 3200 scope on it. I have been told that if you are going to reload for accuracy and performance the Tikka action is not the "strongest" available. For this reason I just traded it in on a Remington Model 700.

-Remington Model 700, detachable magazine, 4 shot mags only. I just brought this one home yesterday, so I have no idea how it shoots but the action is stronger than the Tikka (supposedly). It came with the new X-mark Pro Trigger and the trigger is about 2.5lbs. I am pretty sure I will like this one I now Have 3 Remington model 700's in my safe... the other 2 are good shooters, solid actions, crisp trigger pull. All around a very good hunting rifles, I will be very surprised if this one isn't as well.

All in all you can't go wrong with a Browning x-bolt, Remington Model 700, Tikka T-3, Savage or Winchester model 70. All are very fine rifles.

If you want a semi-auto.... I can't tell ya a thing about them... The only semi's I have are in .22

Good luck, Hope this helps
