Great thread. I am with you. I bought my 30-06 when I got back to hunting after college and LOVE it. It is the rifle I reach for; one that, when I fire at something, that something is dead. Even though I've spent 10x as much on customs this rifle is one I will never send up the road. I've hunted it in Texas, Michigan, and South Dakota.
Mauser 96 American Straight-Pull 30-06
Burris 3-9x 40mm w/ BP
Montana Sling
