What are you hunting ? Where are you hunting ? Will you have to shoot at distance?30-06 is a good all around gun,but there are better applications to get the job done.250 yds to 300 yds on moose or elk is probly max with a good bullet and shot placement.One shot is what your after.Look at some mags and maybe get a good used one with not many rounds through it so it's not shot out.
