I bought my first one in about 83 it was a 370 Winchester, I bought a 243 not long after and a 30-06 followed. When they went to the bolt safety, I switched to Remington 700's and sold all of them. My brother still has the 30-06.

I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....
