When I can't make up my mind which rifle to take, or if I am not sure what game may end up in the crosshairs, or what weather I may have to deal with, this is the rifle I grab. Nothing but a Remmy 700 bedded in a HSP stock with a trigger job, but it shoots straight, carries easy, and it IS a 30-06. There are scars and scrapes, but it always gets the job done.
