    Need some mouthwash there JW? Next you'll be buying it from a h&f store.

    Had one, it was the rifle that dropped the bullets on top of the ground at Tussocks place at the 1000 yard plate 20 feet short of it. It's now the 6.5/06 I still haven't got around to shooting.

    Most folks I know with a 30-06 decide that it is too long and shorten it, then they adjust the load, then figure they should have bought a 308 in the first place. I don't have one, would consider it, ... or a 280.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    I have a 30-06. It kicks like a mule but it only takes one shot to do the business.
    falconhell and mucko like this.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yes. Best all around caliber ever been made. The recoil is substantial less than magnums and if you wisely choose your ammo and bullet weights it will kill any critter on earth.

    My father has used one for the last 20 odd years.
    A BRNO with set trigger and an old steel tube 4x.
    It shoots really well with factory ammo and has accounted for many many deer and pigs.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    308Win One chambering to rule them all.

    Thats the reason I have one.
    Read Hunter Climb High by Keith Severison as a kid and he used one.
    Rex Forrester used them when guiding.He wrote about them.
    The Yank magazines did a lot too.
    Then you get one and use it and they are ok.
    After using a .303 that didn't fit you any rifle that did was going to be good.
    They have a bit of recoil but you only notice when shooting paper not animals.
    Always reckoned 270 was worse for recoil.

    What you after for it Neckshot? I have a thing for both Brnos and .36-06s!
    7x57 is another favourite but I need a Mauser in that!
