Both of my grandfathers passed before I was born. My Dad hunted big game with his 1936 vintage Winchester Model 71 in 348 WCF for over thirty years. At that time he had finally saved enough money to have his 1917 Enfield (Remington) sporterized. He switched to the 30-06 and I got to trade up to the Model 71 from a Winchester 94 I had been hunting with. I was 14 years old when I killed my first big game animal with that rifle (a cow elk). It�s still my favorite 33 years later.
