There are so many useful rifles out there

I saw some guys arguing over the 1000+ yd. capabilities of this rifle in question, for hunting use. I couldn't believe it. Neither guy is likely to shoot at an animal past 200 yds. without leaving the state. A m94 in .30-30 would suffice for 90% of all rifle shooting. But I'm guilty too. Past being a terrible 7mm anything fan, I ascribe to the Keith ideal. Smack it hard with something plenty big, in the right spot, and you usually won't have to go looking for it afterward (usually). Weird stuff just happens while hunting.

My personal "hunting rifle" battery:

M98 - 6mm AI
M98 - .30-06
P14 - .338 Win.
BRNO - .416 Rigby

I have others, .308 HB etc., single shots, semi-autos, lever guns. But I'm not counting those.

Several times I have contemplated re-working the .30-06 into a .338-06, .35 Whelen, or 9.3x62. If only for the exotica. Exotica sells guns. For the M77 conversions, the bolt face size and needed feed work would make me lean a direction. Oddities like the .358 Win. also are in high demand. Something you can't find many places.
