I believe the 06 would be the all around gun, but I have to put in the
30-30, being retired Military, I have toted that lil gun around this
country, it Has taken whitetails in Mich, Ga, Wisconsin, Texas,
Mule deer here in Wa state, (blacktails also) and for good measure
3 Elk in Western Wa. That was before I was told the 30-30 is
an inadequate gun for elk. its been a few places, I am now
enjoying this 45/70, but my heart belongs to the lil Winnie.
