My choice would be my Tradewinds Husky, a plain stocked Husqvarna from the days they were imported by Tradewinds in Tacoma, WA. It's a .30/06 and shoots 200 gr Nosler Partitions exceptionally well in spite of a 1 in 12 twist. I has a 1 3/4 - 5X Leupold on it. It is light, accurate and reliable. It isn't the rifle I'd choose if I was still young, like in my forties, but will do all the hunting left in me.

Will hold 3 in 1 MOA and I happen to like the look of things Italian. 275 yards 1 shot, sun not over the mountain. Thanks, Larry

But I'd much rather have a Leupold 4x on it. I deer hunt in Northern MN and Northern WI (and a few times in eastern WY in the past), so any cup and core 150/165 grain factory load will do nicely. But if i hunted elk, moose, sheep and bears, then it would be 180 grain Nosler Partitions.

Brad, I saw your earlier post on your latest project. Definitely looking forward to the range reports and pictures when that one is done! I've considered changing BM and in fact have 6MM Remington built in the same blueprint, except for the bottom metal being PT&G... Still trying to decide if I like the aluminum PT&G... I've counted ounces on all my other gear, just not sure if I want to give up all steel on my old 'o6. Ideally Kimber will come to their senses and make the Montana 84M in a southpaw version. I'd be ALL OVER a 308. Originally Posted by Brad BTW, Leupold will do custom dots in your 2.5-8x36... mine is going back for that treatment. Thank you for this bit of info. I will have to look into the costs and paperwork involved in getting a scope back and forth across the border. The Leupold LRD is my favourite hold-over hunting reticle. Originally Posted by Llama_Bob I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

MadMooner Campfire Ranger Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 25,107 South Carolina	If I was to buy a new one to do it all? Maybe a Montana in 3/7/6-08. I have a 280 I like a lot. It's an old M70 with an edge stock and a nice svelte barrel. It's about 7.5 ready to go and is as bomb proof as anything. Scope wise, I dunno. I love the 6x42's. They are the perfect hunting scope IMO. But my blind azz struggles with really small targets much past a couple hundred yards. If I wanted to shoot goph's or LR target I might go with a variable. “Life is life and fun is fun, but it's all so quiet when the goldfish die.”

The 150gr LR Accubonds need more testing but are looking promising @2900fps. That said, I could run 140 Accubonds @3000 and be just as happy!

I had the Williams unit on an Edge-stocked SS M70 fwt 30-06 too... it's definitely a LOT nicer than the PT&G aluminum, but I can live with it for the weight savings.
