Agreed, my father took a cow elk with his '06 this past season, it walked 30 yards before falling. You will want to consider your loads though, as the '06 can shoot a number of different loads (grains that is). Each one having its advantages from trajectories to knockdown power. We usually shoot lighter loads when hunting deer, and beef up the loads when hunting hogs or larger animals.
