thanks Tolly, I am probably going to end up going with the 30-06. If Carlos Hathcock can kill 93 viet cong in Nam with an old Model 70 (a variant of the 700), at very far distances, I say that the 30-06 is a caliber to be reckoned with. I went by Dick's Sporting Goods today and they said they would call and see about ordering me one on Monday. I am really looking forward to getting the 700 xcr.
