She's simply doing the BEST she can,with what incredibly little she has to work with. Hint. Laughing!..................

In 2008 I found a Baco SC FN Model 70 30/06 with pretty wood. Since then I have purchased 6 more. Strangely the last gun he used for hunting before he died was one of my Husky HVA 640 FN Large Ring Mauser with a 4 X Weaver. He loved that gun. It weighed about 9.5 lbs and kicked like a pussycat. I think a lot of hard chargers will shift over to the 06 when they reach a certain age where FPS means less than a gun that delivers decent performance, has inexpensive ammo that available and does the job.

The 06 has more case capacity than a 308 and set up properly (as in "not just a deer rifle") it is easier to get out to 1,000 than a 308. As they say, there isn't a substitute for cubic inches except more of them. In this case, about 68gr H2O vs ~56. Personally, I think LR capability is just an aside and surely not the only measure of a good cartridge. I like 300 yard cartridges. I don't need it nor really care about LR. Kudos to those who do.

Bullets matter more than headstamps and a 7-08 slaps an '06 silly and a 308 ain't even in the mix. The 22LR is a 600yd cartridge and then some.

I used a .30/06 for a PG hunt in South Africa in October 1995 using a 180 grain Nosler Partition and it worked very well. And like you,I would use it again.

How many 600 yard matches have you won shooting a 22LR against centerfires? (Or matches shooting anything?) Paper never lies but some dwarf we know does. Politics is War by Other Means
