Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 30 06 good for everything great for nothing

Don't worry, maybe one day they'll let you own a gun.

Ditto.

Maybe we can all pm rick and change his mind

I'm sure he's got lots better to do than deal with a 12 year old moron.

i've never had any interest in the 270 but that's no reason for me to publicly bash it or say it's junk. that just wouldn't be cool.

i hate the 06 so i cant express my opinion? all you can do is pretend you didnt hear it and write me off as some kind of troll? lol i might be a troll if it wasnt true, still havnt heard an example of where its best. reply with an intelligent arguement and ill rethink my opinion. as for tattling on me and trying to get me banned lololol not everyone is foolishly loyal to 100 year old junk cartridges deal with it dont pout and whine like a little girl

Uuuuuh, the village called, they'd like their idiot back. Time to go Chiefy Weefy.

Go away Big Chump.

Okay, I guess I'll play. If you had to choose a single rifle, one with very few characteristics which might be confused as "bells or whistles," one which can and has been used to take virtually any and every kind of animal in North America including walrus - the only mammal we have that resembles the heavier stuff of Africa, a cartridge which is neither so fast that it needlessly wastes portions of critter intended for food nor has such a looping trajectory as to make many shots a challenge, a cartridge which is both easy enough to shoot while still employing sufficent power..........if you had to choose a single cartridge, the list of them would be very short, and the 30 caliber of 1906 would surely be on it, and right at the top of mine. And that's probably only the tip of the iceburg.

.30-06 has put a lot of asses in shallow graves, on battlefields around the world.
Throwing game meat on a table is no real challenge for it.

ok fine the 30 06 is the broke mans rifle. obama isnt president yet and the last time i checked americans are allowed to own more than one rifle. even if all you had was 2 the 06 would be a bad choice.

And you guys didn't think mercury poisoning in grade school was a problem...

people take elk with everything from a 243 up to 338 RUM & above, what's the best?

It's a stupid question, it's just stupid. they all work when used properly. use the one you enjoy using, for what ever your own reasons are. That's what makes your choice the best for you.

If there was one true "best" then what the hell would we need all these cartridges for?


30-06 is just one of the many cartridges that works very well. to single it or any other out as one that you "hate" ?

doesn't make much sense.

if you don't care for it, then just don't buy one, don't use one.

it's pretty simple.

hacking on any cartridge here is bad juju.

if your gonna do it then maybe try something like ".22 hornet is no good for alaskan browns"

big chief are you drunk?

he ain't old enuff......

The most expensive rifle I own is a 30-06, I like it and is fun to shoot, I shoot it alot, my skills have improved, game animals have more to fear.

Big Chief............your an IDIOT!

It's a great round for killing German and Japanese soldiers. kwg

BC: a few days ago, after getting caught in a lie, and admitting that you lie and post stupid things just to stir the pot, you got your feelings hurt and said you were leaving the "Fire". Guess that was another lie.

What's next? Sarah Palin isn't hot? DEMAGOGUERY

big chief,
why would you start such a thread? your comments only cause backlash from most folks. what possible purpose does that serve? i enjoy reading most threads on this site, and have learned a great deal from the others here. why not do you part here to make the campfire a pleasant place to visit, a place to learn and perhaps to teach others. all done in the spirit or friendship. please, give it some thought. and have a great day.
