The 30-06 has been circumvented for other Fudd calibers equal to or similare in Fuddness. Blue and walnut need only apply! Alrighty then ... Faux Rigby Stalker in 275R. Not just a safe queen either ......

Obviously there's more Thurston Howell than Elmer Fudd types here.

If we're going outside the original description, killed a couple doe and a buck with this one in the last 5 yrs. My Dad's old M71 348 that he bought new when he was a youngster. His one and only carry rifle for 20 + yrs.

My most used deer rifles are still lever actions, as has been the case since I bought my first model 94 back in the '70's. Bolt actions of any description were a rarity in the deer woods here back then, while levers, pumps and auto's clearly dominated the Catskills. I hunted for several years before I ever ran into another hunter armed with a bolt action rifle and that was a non resident with a post 64 model 70 chambered in .243 Winchester.

The first 25 years of my deer hunting was done with a Rem 760 30-06 with a 2x7 Weaver in swing-off mounts, well that is not exactly true the first 3 years are so was iron sights, all with 180gr round nose or 220 round nose (just because). I hunted a lot of years with on 06 and pretty much used 180 gr RNs, IF I could not find any 220 grain RN on the shelves. Took deer out to 300 yds with those 220 gr RNs. They just work, period. Also carried a 2 x 7 scope on top of my bolt action rifle ( a Browning A Bolt ), but mine was a Leupold Shot Gun Scope. In this stuff, I liked those thicker set of crosshairs. As I've aged, I've migrated down to 6mm and 6.5 mm. Last two deer I've taken, was one with a 6.5 Grendel, handloaded with a 140 gr Speer and the one this past season, was with a 6 x 45 and a 95 grain ballistic tip. Both of those were bang flops.

Well If I had a rifle like that and it dropped a buck like that, I wouldn't be complaining much... What more do ya want. I don't do wood stocks anymore, except laminates. I like a stock, I don't have to worry about killing the finish on it. Rifles I do hunt with, that have wood stocks are my batch of model 70s....

Only a Fudd would put a vent rib on a rifle. A custom Sako in 7X57AI.
