I too have a .30-06 FC. I like it, COAL shortcomings be damned. I wanted to shoot factory Barnes 168gr in it and it worked very well with those. I can point it at any elk or deer to 500 yards and expect it to die if I pull the trigger. I don’t need the maximum potential out of it, just enough to get to 500 yards (more likely 400 where I hunt). The ergos are about perfect for me with a Conquest 3-9 or vortex razor lh 2-10x40.
