I'm a slow learner I guess. Didn't buy my first .30-06, a pre-64 model 70, until two or three years ago. I bought my first rifle in the 70's, a 7mm Mag Browning BBR. Seems everybody else owned a .30-06 and I just always wanted to do something different. Sure glad I finally came to my senses, though.

Nope to both. No 30s at all.

Dave-
Put a Browning in the safe, that'll be a good contraceptive to your gun multiplying.
Now, if you have a 700 in there with a J-Lock, you could be in trouble, genital warts are contagious. LOL!!! 
Something clever here.

I should have one 30-06: a Rem 742 carbine that was my first centerfire and deer rifle. Sold it....love single shots but can't say I miss that one.

I have 2. Both are Pre '64 Model 70s one Featherweight and one Sporterweight but I'm selling the Sporterweight.

Since I traded off my Garand, there's only one in there....my primary go-to rifle...pre-64 featherweight muddywaters gave me about twenty years ago.

Might be a pig, but it's a cool pig.
Shane, what does she tip the scales at?
Weighs about 15 lbs. Barrel is a Douglas #7 contour, 22" long. It's about .94" diameter at the muzzle. It shoots everything from 110 VMax to 240 Matchkings at better than .5 moa. Printed a .18" 3-shot group in a recent postal match (Smack the Smiley). Was dusting clay birds at 500 yards yesterday with boring consistency.

I love reading threads like this; like to see what guns are floating around.
I have just one; I just bought it back in January. Its a Nikko Golden Eagle model 7000. Let me tell you, for a gun company that didn't stick around too long, the one i have is one of the best shooting guns I own, and prettiest(loves blue box Federals)- shadowed only by my Savage model 99 300.

I hear those Golden Eagles are pretty hot collector items.

Only two at the moment. A Beretta Mato synthetic and a Smith-Corona 03-A3. On the look out for another. My son wants a CZ 550 so we will see what the future holds.

fish30ought6, Yeah, hard to get parts for though. Paid $550 for mine, I might be persuaded to trade for a nice M70 or new Savage American classic...
