Thread: 30-06 Freebie!

Well done on getting your FAL, good to see in todays political climate. And lucky you in having a good mate thats keen to let you have a rifle to start hunting. And its a 30-06! Excellent calibre for knocking over big game. Despite all the well intended comments on here, theres only one way youre gonna find out if its the rifle for you, and thats to go and shoot it. It may very well have too much recoil for you, and likewise you may find shooting it is a breeze. If it has a decent stock that fits you, maybe a bit of weight, and shooting 150gn projectiles [or lighter] it could quite possibly be all you need. I hope so cos thats a very generous offer. If you do like it, and find the recoil is getting up there, then using some reloads that send a lighter projectile at about 2600/2700fps, and suppressing it, may make all the difference required.
Looking forward to progress posts and some cool gun pic's.
