Don't be a wise guy Jeff;here'a a clue....some of my hunting buddies are younger than you! smile

Such cartridges(if they are comfy to shoot)are better today than they were 20-30 years ago;you have better,more accurate bullets, better scopes.I shot yesterday at 600 yards with an S&B Summit that made 600 yards seem like childs play from the standpoint of being able to see.

And you can have MOA rifles right outta the box that used to take us the better part of a year to put together.

Either the 30/06 or 300 mags are just great cartridges that, with todays scopes and LRF's will take a guy a pretty long way and both will do the job up close. The 30/06 is not chump change.I love mine!


Wise guy? Who... lil' old me? smile

I've had a rennaisance with my 30-06 for the last year at least. For a while it was kind of the red-haired stepchild in my safe. But it just got a scope upgrade and is back in the game.

Partly (like we talked about) this is because I intend to do a quality mule deer hunt soon and I'd love to get one with that rifle.

I'm jealous of your Summit.




The CENTER will hold.
