Default More $ on powder if reloading

If your reloading you will spend a bit more on powder for the 30-06. Both will serve you well. If your looking at a Tikka the actions are the same length only difference is the bolt stop.

A very wise old dude once told me, "there's nothing wrong with the 06".
The short 20 inch barrel on my 308 shot 165 grain BTSP bullets at 2750 fps, I dropped a big Vancouver Island black bear at 200 yds with this load, it pancaked him on the spot.
As others have said, the 06 will push heavier bullets, 06 or 08 will be very effective for moose or elk.
Buy one because you want one...............

townsend whelen once said "the 30-06 is never a mistake,

i haven't found him to be wrong, but then again i have never faced down a charging bruin or anything, so there is that.
