Remington 760 Gamemaster an 30-06 of my grandfathers. 35-40 years ago
Damn thing kicked like a mule.
Killed a bunch of animals with it.
Still have it today,don't shoot it much anymore.
Have plenty of rifles with a lot less recoil and kill schitt just as dead
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

30/30 Model 94. Still have it.. Dad bought it at the RAF Alconbury Rod & Gun Club for $49, in June of 1966, just right before we left England...
First fire arm I ever shot, was 1962... Model 870 Winchester in 12 gauge... knocked me on my ass each time my old man had me pull the trigger, no matter how firm I tried to hold it... I was 10 years old... still have that shotgun also.

Borrowed my brothers Sako Finnbear in 30-06 for my first deer season. Put an old Simmons 4x scope off of my Marlin 22 on it, sighted it in, and killed a 4 point buck on opening day. He doesn't hunt any more and I'm still trying to buy that Sako from him.....maybe this year.

Dads M77 06. She’s In the safe with me now
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Dad's Rem 760 30-06, the recoil bruised my nose, but the bullet hit the empty pop can.

.303 British Enfield about 1963 or 4. My father wasn't about to spend over $15 for a deer rifle.

I was 14 in 1965. It was a Colt M60 machine gun with every 5th round was a tracer. I was shooting a model A ford and a toilet under the power lines. My father was chief engineer of military gun and vehicle design. A government inspector brought the gun and cases of ammo home.
I had been dove hunting with a 12 gauge since I was 12. My father pheasant hunted with the gov inspector.
