Boring? Meh, what do they know? Evidently not much and anyone spouting that kind of baloney in my presence would get tuned out while I daydream of all the game I've whacked with one.
What turned me into a .30-06 fanboy was my first '03 Springfield 50-couple years ago (an original M1903 Mark I). That rifle taught me more about marksmanship than the other rifles I owned up until then. It might explain why I have ten '06's in my possession at the moment- mostly original '03 service rifles, target guns, and NRA Sporter, with a couple interlopers like a 1954 Model 70, M1, and a Mauser sporter. On my ammo shelves I have loads from cast bullet plinker/small game stuff, to midrange cast and jacketed stuff, to Molly-bar-the-door stuff. Do I have a fondness for other chamberings? Indeed, around 50 or so others which includes a 6.5x55 Ruger #1A which has become my go-to hunting gun. But if push came to shove.....
