Thread: 30-06 Freebie!

All things being equal if you dint mind the 308, 3006 isn't going to be much worse.
Take your time. You'll be right.
And also earmuffs at the range

Indeed she did. ( Damn nice deer too ! ) Thanks for the heads up. I tend to spend very little time in the Introductions page so, of course, initially lacked the vital knowledge in this case.
Anyway, I hope the apology I posted makes it clear I'm now properly informed.

yes absolutely some of the bigger recoiling chamberings can catch you out if not positioned and comfortable before the shot

8x57 on the weekend reminded me .....

........people presuming, it's a male dominated sport.

TOUCHE!!!! I like your style; stick around we need people like you.

.30-06 rules! I have been using the calibre since 1967 and have two rifles that I use, a Husqvarna with a Zeiss scope as my normal hunting rifle, and my custom-made long range rifle. A .30-06 with a 150 grain bullet has the same recoil as a .308 with the same bullet in a similar weight rifle. A suppressor will reduce the recoil and make the rifle much nicer to use. Go for it!

Ha! The good old Weatherby eyebrow!
