I am looking to buy my first rifle. I have been told by a few guys that I know what I can't go wrong with a 30-06. One other guy is a fan of the 308 (military background), but in all of my research, the 30-06 can just out do a 308. This will mostly be for deer, and maybe elk (I live in Washington state, so there is a little bit of everything here).
So, is there any downside to the 30-06? Other than having the long actions (costing a very small weight increase), I am unable to find a reason not to get a 30-06.
Anyway, I am hoping to just get a general idea from all you with experience.
I know, opinions are like @ssholes, everybody has one... I just want to know what your opinion is.
