I feel like a trader to my muzzleloading brothers here but I'm taking the '06....sorry. the dicision was not made lightly but in the end my gut told me the '06 gets the call.
If your gut tells you to take a certain rifle then do it. Best of luck with your modern whiz bang rifle. :mrgreen: Just kidding. Even when I bear hunted with my .54 Renegade, I packed a .44 magnum revolver just in case ... well you know.
