That my dad left me. It’s a featherweight that still wears the Leupold 3-9 he put on the rifle when he bought it new...

I’ve killed a few deer with it...Missed a lot more. I moved away from it quickly as a teen, buying myself a 7mag and never looking back.

I want to resurrect this fine rifle that has always shot well printing 1 MOA on paper. Where should I start with shelf ammo and what bullet and weight?

The rifle is a nostalgia rig that if I can get it shooting well. I would carry it opening day of deer season in remembrance of my dad.

Suggestions from the 06 lovers is appreciated. Updated set and forget optic will happen, if I can find a load it likes.

Thanks,
Beaver 😎
