Yes i love this too. Now it makes more sense why I've always loved my 308. 6.5 creed is not enough but 300wm is too much for me.
I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

Would not own a 30-06 or 270 or 6.5 Creed….even if they were given to me. No explanation as to why, just leaves us wondering. Certainly cannot slight the cartridges. Just never was a bandwagon buyer.

If the cartridge is 100+ years old, is it really jumping on a bandwagon? Unless, of course, you are close to 100…

…if you don’t own at least one .30-06? Was wondering how many else share this opinion. Also curious if there’s another caliber you think better represents all of mankind. Mostly joking here but also serious question.  I will NEVER own a 30-06. I do love my 308’s on the other hand.

Do you own a .454 Casull? It sure is more manly than an '06. I did. Performed a resto-mod on a .454 R92. Doubled my money. It's really pretty tame from a 20" rifle. People think .30-30 is tame ... but those people haven't shot a .30-30 WIN single action revolver. Perspective...
Pass the gravy.

.30-06 is a fine round but the .300 win mag is the Lords caliber.
No need for the 06’ when they invented the win mag ^^^ This

We used to have a few guys shooting 30-06 for deer at our camp, but I believe all have moved on to another caliber.
Probably a combination of the recoil and the fact that most of the shots are inside of 50 yards in tight cover. Some guns shoot friendlier than others in the same caliber too.
