My first bolt rifle was a tanger in 30-06. I guess I got lucky as it shot and still shoots very good. Never had issue one with it. I would say its my base
Line by which all my other rifles have been judged on. I bought it back around 1987 for $100 from my brother who came into it on a car trade deal. He needed the money for a date. It came with a tasco scope that was dang near junk. I replaced the scope several times ending up with a vx3 3.5-10x40. These days I have two other rifles I use and favor over the tanger but used it for two decades. About the best $100 I ever spent on a piece of gear.


Life can be rough on us dreamers.
