Nothing wrong with being old as the hills, that's why I carry a 1911 and when I really want a bruising, my 45-70 will help jog my memory why I don't shoot it too often or the Stevens 12ga SxS coach has a tendency to leave a mark too.

Thanks for all the input and advice. I'm contemplating at this point between the 308 and the 30-06.
