Is a remington 700 cambered for 30-06 the gun for me? Boar, deer, elk, is this an all around good gun?
I live in Ohio where you cant hunt deer with a rifle,(This is fine with me by the way) but here is my situation. There is a lot of wild boar that I could hunt and we are planning to go caribu and mule deer hunting next year. I am a big beliver of the right gun for the right game but I don't need more than one large rifle since 99% of my hunting is done with shotguns and varmit rifles. I don't know a lot about large rifles but I was told that the Remington 700 in 30-06 will work game from boar to elk. Anyone agree or disagree? Anyone have a better suggestion?

I have the Rem. 700 BDL-DM and I love it. Free floating barrel for those long shots with the all popular 30-06 caliber round. If I want to hunt smaller game such as hogs, I use full lead rounds and for larger game, I bought Winchester's Fail Safe round. I agree, it's one of the best all around guns.How effective are bulletproof vest?
, Ya i live in Oklahoma and last year i killed 2 of my white tail deer with a Remington 30-06 and it might of been a bit of an over kill, while i didn't damage any of the meat i did completely destroy the chest cavity, but for a elk or boar it should be about the right size, i would like to talk about you hunting the boar tho, i have hunted them a bit and a 30-06 will kill the pig just make shure you don't miss, it could get pritty messy if you tick one off and only have a bolt action rifle,Where is the best inland shore fishing in the continental United States ?
30-06 is perfect for the applications you just mentioned. I live in W.Va. and for the most part, the farms I hunt on, the 30-06 is a little too much. The 30-06 will give you the range and "knock-down" power to tackle an elk, so I'm sure a boar will be no problem. Just be careful to know what's beyond your target. As I said earlier, the 30-06 is too much gun for my applications, but you don't need much to drop a whitetail. The 30-06 round will easily pass through a target and keep travelling if you're close enough. So, be careful about that.Good luck and happy hunting. :-)

The Remington 700 belongs in every serious gun case, and the .30-'06 belongs in every serious gun case, and if possible, the 2 together.GET IT! you will have one of the top 5 finest rifles ever made.
Get a scope and iron sights if possible, because if you're hunting boar up close and personal, you really dont want a scope. Irons are the only way to go there.
Mule deer are no problem, but don't do anything stupid with elk. Elk are hard to kill, the '06 can do it with NO PROBLEMS if you do everything right.

Congratulations. You've purchased a very nice rifle that will take any big game in North America. The Remington 700 is excellent. It is strong and accurate. Match a good scope to it and tailor your loads to the game you're hunting. Lighter bullets for deer, heavier ones for Elk and Caribou, and heaviest ones for the big, 400+ lb. boars and bear.Good luck.
