A friend was looking to sell his rifle (700 DM 30.06) as he doesn't hunt anymore. I've never been a Remington guy but he'd put some money into it the action, trigger, fluting, and a brake. The scope was junk so I yarded that off and put a spare Leupy on it. Hopefully it's a good shooter, but for $450 (with 200rds of range ammo) I don't think I'll get hurt if I have to send it. My son is ready to put it to use caribou hunting this fall.

Ptarmigan: That Rifle looks almost as good as that son!
Good for you and for your son to.
The tried and true 30/06 cartridge is simply wonderful in so many ways.
Best of luck to the young Hunter when he gets after the Caribou.

LOL! His hair all of a sudden got curly this year, plus he just took off his hat. He's overdue for a cut as we just got back from a 2 week vacation. He's begging for the barber! Haha!

Good for you and your son on picking the 30-06. Was so afraid you were going to say Creedmore.
Happy hunting !

Well 1 thing though I'd sure not waste anytime finding
an extra mag. Allways should have a backup mag for dm guns.
