Work in progress. New Haven beauties. Something is for damn sure wrong with your 30-06 then.... Better keep working on her. Start with taking that chitty hot glue bedding out and putting a good dose of Devcon 10110 in there.... Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

Moderate recoil,flat trajectory with good BC bullets, sufficient performance to cleanly kill far beyond ranges most of us should be shooting,and will work well on any big game animal in North America. memtb You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel “I’d like to be a good rifleman…..but, I prefer to be a good hunter”! memtb 2024
