darn near everyone I sold. The standouts are an old model single six .22lr/.22mag and Remington 700 in '06. I'm planning on drastically thinning the herd, but the Single Six with both cyls will never be one of them. It was 30 years ago. I still kick myself over it. Money was tight, family to feed.

Re: Bolt action caliber for North American hunting
I Think 30-06 Would be my first choice. I might go with the 300 Win. Mag. only if most of my shooting was at extended ranges. Although Mod. 70's are nice I would go with a Tikka T-3 lightweight in stainless and synthetic.
