Or if a person is feeling really militant, buy a M1917 Enfield in 30.06. A real man,beast and small imported car stopper.
I have a SMLE 303 that has a really smooth bolt and stopping power as well.

... buy a M1917 Enfield in 30.06.

I have one that was sporterized in the late '50s or early '60s. The barrel was turned to reduce the contour and reamed to .300 H&H. I had it refurbished a couple years ago. Then I added a Timney trigger. The walnut stock that was made for the rifle was a little sad but I was able to make some repairs and coat it in truck bed liner.

I have managed less than 1 1/2" groups with 200 gr Noslar Partition hand loads several times.
