30-06 is one of the best all around deer rifles that you can buy, and you already have one. But, now that you started rifle hunting you have been exposed to a strange new disease whose number one symptom is getting the urge to go to the gunshop. And you should never leave a gun shop without a new gun. You will need a spare deer rifle, a .sidearm to finish off wounded deer, a backup to the spare rifle, a special long-range gun for beanfield shots, a carbine brush gun, and a magnum for bigger bucks. Also, an ugly spare to loan to your buddy who never has his own rifle, a cowboy lever gun in .32 special to hang in the back window of your pickup, and a rifle that you don't remember what's for but the gun shop owner talked you into it. And luckily there's no end and no cure for this craziness.
