Title: 30-06 lovers let's see your baby
Post by: sticky on June 29, 2013, 06:27:23 AM: Post a pic of your favorite 06 in your arsenal. Mine's an X-bolt with a 3x9 Zeiss Conquest sitting pretty in a Pelican case.

Post by: AWS on June 29, 2013, 07:24:25 AM: 30-06 in blue steel and walnut, so old school, nothing to argue about, no recommendations to improve it, it just plain works.

Good Choice

PS You might want to change that sling to something in nice oiled leather.

Post by: mrolen on June 29, 2013, 08:23:41 AM: This is my dads Remington 721 in 3006 I refinished the stock and metal, bedded it and free floated the barrel and the crown was a little beat up so I recut it. The gun shoots great I'm in the middle of a scope swap it had a vx2 but I'm going to be upgrading it to a new vortex so the old man can see!

Post by: tazman2800 on June 29, 2013, 12:16:50 PM: This is my sons rifle I gave him at Christmas. It is a Winchester 670A that I bought 32 years ago. I used it to kill my first deer and elk. I bought the laminated Stock from Stocky's Stocks. I mounted stock then had it glass bedded and the barrel floated. We haven't been out to shoot it yet but we are looking foward to it.

Post by: Pete112288 on August 25, 2013, 12:27:51 PM: This is my baby. Half of it was my 17th birthday gift from my folks, the other half I paid/worked off. Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stalker with Leupold Vari 3-9 scope. Love it, its a perfect fit too. Shoots sub-moa with the standard remington corelokts. But the gun I am most in love with is my dads. Its an old military modified Enfield. It was my greatgrandfathers and my dad and i are the only ones that hunt on that side of the family (although my stepson just finished hunters ed and I have a 5 month at home that I cant wait to take hunting when the time comes) The Enfield holds 8 with one in the chamber. I love that, less to carry in my pockets or on the buttstock on those long hikes. has an amazing solid action too. My dad has shot sub-moa with every round he has tried, remington corelokts, federal's basic load, handloads from a buddy of his, etc. I want the guns so bad, except for the fact that if my dad doesent use it anymore then it means it is a very very sad day, and not worth having the gun.

Receiver is a G.33/40, Belgium chestnut stock, Burris Fullfield 2 (replaced the ancient Redfield 4x that lost its seal). It was gifted when I was 12 so I forget the details.

I've got the Safari sling on all my rifles also. They've saved the day on several occasions with bulls in the timber. The best slings for quick shots no questions asked. They sure play hell on the wood stock guns though. I need to refinish my Model 70 because of the wear on the stock.

New addition:

Tikka T3 Stainless Steel Superlite, having a Vortex Diamondback and Leupold bases and rings installed and lapped as I type! (Diamond back is temporary) Picking her up tomorrow all done and breaking / sighting her in this weekend!

Very excited to shoot this rifle!!

Hornady 165 SST Superformance - don't bother with anything else :chuckle:

200 yards I'm printing about 1MOA w/o a proper shooting bench or bags, just a wobbly picknic table and a jacket.

Thanks for the tip!! I bought 5 different types of ammo to try and get her dialed in Monday, can't wait! Have a Limbsaver en route as well :tup:

P.S. Hornady 165 SST Superformance = SOLD OUT everywhere!! :dunno:
