Can't go wrong with an ought six, got 3 of em myself. There's a pretty good reason why officially it'll be 100 years old next year; if it wasn't any good it wouldn't be consistently in the top 10 in reloading dies sold or recognized around the world. You can be in timbucktoo and find ammo. Put a good 180 grainer in the boiler room of most any medium sized large game animal and you got steak and eggs for breakfast.
In addition to bolt action, pump action, semi-autos, and single shot break opens, I've also seen the '06 in lever action. If I'm not mistaken it was a Winchester Model 98.
Yes IdahoHunter, you can do much, much, worse than a Springfield '06 in bolt action, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
