Again ... Thank you for all the advice guys!

Great site!

I think I will stick with a .30-06 .... sounds like something I won't grow out of or be disappointed in.

I really don't think I'll have a hard time with recoil , I'm a pretty tough guy at 6' 230lbs of SOLID MUSCLE ... Ruff Rufff!!

No but seriously ... I want one gun I will be happy with for the long haul. I'll learn to use it properly no problem I think.

I was looking at some Saur's and Sako's that both looked nice to me ... any opinions on these ?

Sauer Model 200 .30-06 Rifle and Sako Model 75 Deluxe King Ranch Heritage Series in .30-06 .... thoughts ???
