Those '06's crack you pretty well in a 760 and an .30-06 has never been particularly pleasant to shoot in anything.


2 of my 3 biggest bucks were shot at less than 15 yards in woods to heavy for a wood tick. Both shot with 7600 '06. It was too late for either one when the safety "clicked".

None of them heard that pesky ol slide rattling either. I bet you coat makes more noise than my rifle...until it goes off. grin


Camp is where you make it.
