I got a pump 30-06 from my father-in-law. The rifle shoots minute-of-angle with 180-grain Sierras and others. The only things that I do not like about the rifle is the fact that it is heavy and a bit noisy when carrying. Especially in close quarters, that 35 should be a great elk gun.
I was going to take the 06 to Newfoundland for moose in 2011, but decided it was a good reason to buy a new Remington SPS 7 mag.
My son in Wisconsin now has the pump and is tickled with it.
