Only problem is if I had to get rid of all my rifles except one, my ol' 700 in 30-06 would be the last one to go. I haven't even shot the thing in probably 15 years, it just sits there, but it ain't going anywhere.

That's where things went south. Let's Go Brandon! FJB

All the gun makers had to flood the market with them since it was a common military cartridge and ammo was cheap for all the cheap MFs that like cheap ammo. Tweener cartridge if there ever was one. To little for elephants and too big for ducks. I don't see the point. I'm going to buck the crowd and stick with my .264 Creedmoor. I had two friends who culled elephant in Rhodesia with push-feed Mdl 70s in 30-06. Hunt ducks with an '06 loaded with a 32 acp in a chamber insert. Now there's an idea....never thought of that. If I had an 06 I'd look into that. But I would never own such a boring tweener. Let's Go Brandon! FJB
