Remington 700 in .30-06 is what I shoot and I really like it. The gun shoulders well and fits me snug. If I were going to hunt more elk than deer I would probably go with a .300 win or 7mm especially here in Utah. If it were mostly deer than I would go .30-06 or even a 30-30 or .308. Some folks use a .243 or .270 but I feel the knock down power for begining hunters on longer hard to judge shots will leave you frustrated and more animals wounded than not. I have a Remington 700 in .30-06 and you are more than welcome to squeeze some shots off if we ever have the chance to get out shooting. Nothing like feeling a good thump on your shoulder to prepare the body for the real job in hunting.
