Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Any love for the 30/06

There are plenty of '06's out there, so you can sometimes find a good deal. I bought a Ruger boat paddle '06 for $750, didn't like the stock, sold it on Ebay for around $350. I bought this Boyd Classic, cut off a bunch of wood, including the cheek piece, to save weight. Drilled out the butt stock to get the weight down not much heavier than a Hunter's Edge. Finished it with Custom Pro oil (tung oil/urethane) from Brownells, installed a Jard trigger. I like it.

Edited to add, it also came with a set of SS 30mm rings which were also sold on eBay. So, the barreled action ultimately got pretty cheap. The Boyd stock wasn't that expensive and I work cheap. Jard trigger not that expensive and a big upgrade from factory, even after a trigger job.
