Yes, I am a wood slut. blush But none of them are safe queens, all go hunting.

Dad collected a few of them in the 1970's. The .30-06 and .300 were originally bought by him. He gave the .300 to a friend of my grandad's. He was in his '80's by then, but did shoot it a fair amount. It was given back to Dad when that gentleman passed, and then it came to me. It has a very long throat, and will run 180's well over 3100 fps. With its preferred loads, the accuracy can be quite good, too.

The '06 I inherited after Dad passed. It does not have great wood, but is quite accurate, and MD's load of 58gr Big Game will run Nosler 150 AB's at 3125 fps smile The .270 Liberty I bought a year or so ago.

This is a better picture of the .22-250, with three consecutive 5 shot 100 yard groups:

It shoots 53 gr TSX reasonably well, so I will probably try it on deer this year.

The .30-40 is a Cabelas limited Edition. It has a nice stick of Circassian, though I have not shot it much, yet. Working up loads with 150's and Big Game.
