Most commercial rifles werent built to withstand severe conditions.Most military models were built "soldier proof". And no tougher more durable action has been invented than the 98 mauser and its dirivitives. Some of its dirivities are the Sprinfield 1903, P17 Enfield and the commercial pre 64 model 70 Winchesters. These were designed to be fully disassembled in the field, and to operate under muddy,wet, and dusty conditions. The 30-06 is THE standard all other hunnting cartridges are judged by. And this round is avalible all over the world and in nearly every small burg.
