Heavier rifle???: M70 FWTs list the same weight for the 06 and many others, including your beloved 300 WSM

Less range??? Plenty of range for "normal" hunting. We all know that ultra BCs and fast twists are needed at extended ranges, but for the vast majority of hunters, they are irrelevant.

Inherent accuracy??? Might make a difference in rifles built for bench rest competition....not for hunting rifles. (one doesn't need 1/2 MOA to place bullets on target with game animals,

Give it up, Bob...that is unless you just enjoy being a troll, and providing entertainment. But no one is taking your arguments seriously

And, BTW, I recall in a previous diatribe you once said that the shoulder angle on the 06 is "too steep"....guess trigonometry was not your forte
