Ok I skipped to the end

I know it might hurt but just pass him your beloved 30-06 when he's ready.

My dad waited too long and I already had my own rifles when he started offering.

Would've loved "cutting me teeth" with one of his rifles.

Good news is, my son got a couple of grampa's guns.

My 2 cents


Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and
Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN
