Anyone here hunt or are gun hobbyists?

.30 06 is pretty decent for hunting. I shot one 'till my arm failed to work anymore, which isn't too long.

Also, pick up an AR-15. Not for hunting, just for.. having the best gun ever made.

That'd be fun, but holy jesus (I just pronounced that like the mexican name)

By the way, with the amount of recoil coming out of that gun, and the size of my shoulder, that was only about... 20-30 rounds.

20-30 rounds would obliterate a squirrel, I LIKE IT! ha

Leanin towards a Savage .30 06 with the accutrigger system.
And then not too sure about a Colt 1911 or a S&W 9mm...hmm

If you have that much money... Hah. I was just talking to my neighbor (He just got back from deer hunting in Montana) He shot a deer with a .30 06 on the trip, shot it dead on, hit the spine, and it actually lifted the front of the deer a few feet in the air. So yeah, get one of those.

1911 > S&W 9. Bottom line.

Well, eventually I'll have a .45 and a 9, however, deciding which to go for, first.  Maybe buy myself the rifle and ask for the 9 for Christmas (that'd be pushing it as far as cost goes, though ).

Really, the price of the .30-06 I'm looking at (a Savage) + the price of the 9mm is about that of the Colt 1911.

My father just shot a nice buck today with his .308.

So mm, get a .308.

30 06, I hear, is more versatile.  If you load your own cartridges you can shoot just about whatever.  At some point I'd like to go after an elk, too.
