What the .30-06 Springfield is good for

It’s one of the most versatile rounds in North America. With 150 grain bullets it’s a deer rifle, and with 180 to 220 grain bullets it’s an elk and moose rifle. Factory ammo runs from 125 to 220 grains and you’ll find it nearly everywhere. The 1:10 twist covers that full range.

SAAMI publishes the industry standard for chamber and cartridge dimensions. For history and ballistics, here’s some background on the .30-06 Springfield.

Choosing between Howa 30-06 Rifles

  • Howa Hogue: it’s a no-fuss hunting rifle for people who want a proven action and a stock that shrugs off weather.
  • Howa Gamepro 2: it’s for the hunter who’d rather buy one box and head to the range than piece a setup together.
  • Howa Hunter: it’s for hunters who want a traditional wood-stocked rifle that shoots straight and lasts.

Barrel length matters too. Shorter barrels are handier in blinds and with suppressors, while 24-inch barrels squeeze out more velocity for long shots. If you want a ready-to-hunt package, look for models that include a scope.

A few to start with

Howa 1500 Hogue 30-06 ($542, the lowest price here): 22-inch barrel and black Hogue OverMolded stock. If you need one dependable rifle for deer season and some range time, this is the kind of rifle that does the job year after year.

Howa 1500 Standard Hunter 30-06 ($625, a middle option): 22-inch threaded barrel and walnut stock. It’s for hunters who want a traditional wood-stocked rifle that shoots straight and lasts.

Howa Gamepro 2 30-06 Brown ($728, the top of the range): 22-inch barrel, brown Hogue OverMolded stock and a Nikko Stirling GamePro 3.5-10x44mm scope included. It’s for the hunter who’d rather buy one box and head to the range than piece a setup together.
