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

I bought this 30-06 FN (my first and only 30-06 until recently) from Carter's in Houston in 2003. A pretty high condition piece. It came with a 4-12X Redfield in Weaver rings/bases. I sold the scope and mounted the Leupold in SK rings/bases, sighted it in with 165 gr Hornady's then put it in the safe where it sat. In 2017 I headed to Namibia and thought I should finally hunt with the 30-06 so I worked up a load with the 168 gr TSX that shot well.



The first animal that was quite a hunt in the mountains.



The last animal that was a fairly long spot and stalk hunt.
