Hi All,
I'm an avid bird hunter and am looking to try big game next year. Start with deer then elk. I live close to the mountains and would hunt some on west side (of the cascades) but probably more on the east side. I've read 30-06 is a good all arounder, but for some of the longer shots in the desert (east side) is a 300 warranted?
I'm also looking for recommendations on a nice starter rifle. I want wood, Can't stand synthetic. So far I found Weatherby Vanguard Sporter and Tikka T3 Forest.
Thanks for the help,
JA
