I recently acquired an 06 from a sorry fellow who was upset his new rifle was recalled for some safety reason. He practically gave it to me so I slapped a redfield on it, bought some remington factory 180 grain core locks a,s shot two 5 round groups this morning, all 5 shots touching in each group. Not crazy about clip fed rifles, but this gun shoots better than the other 30 I have owned including 11 full custom jobs . They seem to be great deals right now, I'm going to pick up another in 300 mag and see how that goes

I see they go for nothing! Glad to hear they shoot well. The gun mags usually give them good reviews. I too dislike removable mags, good luck and welcome!
Good Shooting!

I bought a 223 shortly after they were introduced. It shot as well or better than any 223 I've ever owned. 10 shots under an inch and this was from a sporter weight barrel....
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

This rifle game is funny.
I've owned a BUNCH of different rifles over the past 7-8 years. Before that, I kept a few around and they all shot good enough.
During my journey, I've owned some expensive rifles and some really inexpensive rifles. The budget rigs I tried all shot better than expected. Some of the more expensive rifles were somewhat disappointing.
I'm worn out and a little burnt out. I've fiddled enough now to know what I like.

Sorta Out of the loop, what's the recall issue?

The recall I believe was a safety not engaging.. Not really sure. I sent it in and got it back quickly. Great service

I've got a .300 WM that shoots so good and so consistently that I still can't believe it.
And it likes everything I run through it.

My friend has 2, a 22-250 and a 270 win. Both shoot lights out and are easy to load for. Seems just about everything I try shoots great thru them...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
