I agree totally! Downloading or buying reduced power loads for the 30-06 is a good idea.....more meat might hit the frying pan that way. However why lug a 30-06 around to shoot deer at 50 yards when you could be using an easy carrying, fast handling, all around sweet little carbine like the 336 or model 94? Lever guns are plain fun!


agree but don't need another gun to add to the fleet I'm trying to reduce the herd and need it for large black bear and hopefully an elk hunt, Lucky for me it's a Ruger #1 RSI so it's overall length is like a lever gun and it handle much like my O/U bird gun. And thanks to all for the tips.


Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
