I was told that it was Col. Jeff Cooper that said:

“There ain’t many problems that a man can’t fix, with $700 and a .30-06!”

I don't think he ever said that .

I did hear an nearly identical version from a conversation with a crusty old hunting guide up in N.W. Montana in the late 1980's.

His saying was . -"There ain't too much that can't be fixed with 180 grains from a 30-06 ".

That fellow pretty much thought anyone who hunted Elk with less was either a Queer or a Communist.

I did not agree with his logic on that , but he was not wrong about the 'O6.

He also liked his 180 grainers to be Nosler Partitions wink
