Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.

Here is a 1910 Mexican in 7X57 I had done awhile back. The metal work is by Mark Stratton and the stock was done Chic Worthing.

If you're into plastic and paint here is my FN JC Higgins .30-06 in a Sako Compact with green CeraKote.

Really nice rifle.

Did that Sako compact take some altering for the JC Higgins?

Thanks Sir,

Yes he is. I understand his health has caused him to retire.

One more smile . It's a stunning rifle. Maybe the most beautiful piece of English walnut I've ever seen.

I used to have Mr. Stratton's "book" so to speak. He sent me a binder full of machine drawings and tips on how he made octagon barrels, 1/4 ribs, sights etc.

Lost it all in the divorce and I'm pissed about it.

Great guy.

It's a 270 Winchester.
Just a nice North American hunting rifle.
