I have a .30-06 hunting rifle that I like.
A similar one has just gone on clearance for pretty cheap at a local place, in 7mm Rem Mag.
I'm tempted, but wondering whether there's much point in having a 7mm Rem Mag and a .30-06.
Are they too similar? Or do they each offer something unique?
I think you can tell that I'm not looking for an excuse to buy this or any rifle. I actually want to sell off some guns I never use. I would like to have rifles that I do find some use for.
A flat shooter sounds appealing. Local hunting includes antelope, mule deer, whitetails, elk, black bear, as well as rare tags for bighorns, mountain goats and moose.
I've thought about a .270 Winchester or .257 Wby Mag, and a .338 Win Mag to round out my hunting rifle selection. But a 7mm RM might be a good choice, too.
Thoughts?
