Back in 1989 I wanted a deer rifle & I had the cash to go get one. I didn't really know a whole lot about different rifle calibers or what rifles were considered best. I went with .30-06 because that was what almost all the older men I had worked with used. I bought a push feed Winchester model 70 because of brand recognition. For a long time when I was growing up the only rifle in our home was a Winchester pump .22. I have never regretted the decision.
Lately it seems .30-06 ammunition has been hard to find. I was in Academy recently & saw a lot of .308 available. Doubtless it is more available because of its popularity with the black rifle crowd. I haven't done so yet but I'm thinking I'd like to pick up a .308 just because ammunition is more available.
