What model rifle?

This thread is like 9 years old...they've had many different rifles since 2008...



I'm pretty sure this was testimony on hunter as much as rifle/scope.
Spinners on a brown bear rifle tells me the guy has more money than common sense. And I'd not be shocked to learn it had less than 20 rounds down the tube before he showed up to hunt. grin

That's very true.

I was just curious because they earlier versions were basically Coopers.

Newer ones are still made with quality parts but if the guy yanking the trigger isn't worthy then it won't make the rifle look very good either

It was the first best of the west rifle I had ever seen so I googled it and ended up here. The rifle was a fairly new purchase that the hunter was proud of, even if not particularly familiar with, and in the end it worked just fine. Of course accurate 375 H&H usually do so long as the hunter stays composed.

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