He's offered to let me use his 30-06 but I have this weird thing about wanting to use my own gun. Like it makes it more special or something. Maybe I'm over thinking it. Like almost all of you guys have pointed out it's probably best to use what I have experience withThe problem is time and money
That new rifle will cost and you'll probably want a scope plus some premium hunting ammo and a good sling. Then you have to sight it in and get a feel for the rifle and scope combo, get the sling adjusted etc
That all adds up, especially for may be the worst (or greatest) day of your life. Humping a lot of weight in the Palouse could be exhausting. What kind of shape are you in. If you're not in good shape, you may feel like tossing that AR-10 into a gully by noon. Do you have any pals that could loan you a rifle?
That might be a better option. At least it won't be your rifle that gets tossed over a cliff
