Everyone, I got my gun. I decided on the 30-06. Seemed like it would be sufficient for my needs. I was really tempted by the 300 ultra mag, but not enough to pass up the deal I found. For a first rifle, I decided the 30-06 would be sufficient.
For those interested, I got a Winchester 670, with a Leupold VX-I 3-9X40mm mounted. The 670 is a dumbed down Winchester model 70 (the parts are interchangable) with only slight differences in the stock and barrel. But, the components are the same as the Model 70. However, the price is substantially lower than the model 70's $900+.
Thanks for all your input, now.. what is your preference on Ammo?
