You can get into bullet debates all day long. At average hunting ranges the difference between a 308 and a 3006 are negligible. As i get older I like lighter hunting rifles. 308 can be lighter with less recoil. 308 is adequate for all north america game except the BIG bears and then only if desperate. A deer will not be able to tell the difference between a 308 and a 3006. With good shot placement it will be drt. Savage, ruger, mossberg make great entry level guns that will last a lifetime. Just remember, a good scope will make an average rifle shoot well. A Bad scope on a great rifle will piss you off.
