I've owned a Browning A-Bolt 7mm Mag with the boss system for about 25 years now. The thing kicks about like a .243 and I have taken whitetails, bear and several moose with it. It handles a variety of loads well and is a tack driver. It is loud as all hell when you touch her off but I don't ever remember having to fire more than one shot at a game animal with it. The ammo is also readily available at most sporting good stores and It has better ballistics than the '06 too.
