My neighbor is looking to buy one of these rifles for hunting. He is close to retirement and hasn't hunted since he was in his 20's. He said his first hunting rifle that his dad let him hunt with was a pump rifle in 6mm and that is why he wants a pump rifle in .30-06. I can't convince him to change his mind on the rifle and not sure I want to as it is the rifle he wants.
He asked for my help and I've found him some rifles online and have tried to encourage him to buy a new rifle. He saw a used rifle with basket weave checkering, I know nothing about these rifles that is why I've encouraged the new rifle purchase. I've heard that these rifles can be accurate but they wear out as well and used rifles can be hit or miss? Is there any thing I should tell him about these rifles?
