Well, I actually said I wont be hunting bear or anything like that. I am not sure what I would be hunting, more like deer since I am from NY and I would just go back there and hunt but... I was thinking 30-06 more than anything. I know you can get some of those for less that 600, then of course the scope and what not. But I like the .308 as well. More thank likely it will be one of these two. But the .308 is more expensive, haha.
