The only 30-06 I owned was a Sako Finnbear. That was probably 40 years ago. I owned it for two seasons. Last one I had. I still miss that gun. I have a few 30 cal but not in a 30-06. Don't know why......

Good luck !

Gone

That's great to hear that a company will help you out like that. Getting and maintaining customers are two different things.

I know my 338F is not the speed of the WM but have been using 200gn BT for Whitetail and one Elk and zero concerns on "tough enough"

Yea that's funny. I have more cameras being messed with by bears every year. Then I get clos ups of eyes - nose - ears..... They haven't tore one off the tree yet. Fun stuff.

Thanks - bit pricey but grabbed some LR mag that I needed

JD338 - I grabbed some pics - I should have taken more during this build. Stick frame - 4' crawl - metal side - metal roof. I'm hoping to in it next week. The windows and door from the "Great Room / Kitchen " on to the deck. Big 8' Slider and 5.0x6.0 windows. View of back yard. Drone View...

The turkeys in the yard were making a racket Sunday. Not so much on Saturday. I also think they are moving up in elevation. I'm on a canyon edge at 2600' . Up till last week it be unusual to not see 50 -100 turkeys driving up or down the canyon. Last couple days not so much.

Spent the last two years with shooting / hunting on the back burner. My wife and I purchased raw property and building it into a home. About an hour out of town in Idaho with just a few years to work yet. My son purchased 10 acres right next to me. Our nearest neighbors is 1 mile marker back...

35 Rem 300 Sav 6mm Rem 260 Rem 338 Fed 35 Whelan All have been in my hands over the years. I still have coup!e of them. Wish I had them all !

Nice rifle !

I picked up a early '70s vintage 700 BDL in a 270W back in the mid '90s. It appeared new. All blueing on bolt slides. The barrel looked clear. I put it in a syn stock. Put a VXII 3x9-40 on it. Bore sighted it and took a shot at 100 yds. Using Federal Premium 130 Barnes ( I think..), found...

Now that is very cool !!

WOW that brings back memories. Grew up in northern Minnesota back in the 60s - 70s. First time I could leave the farm yard and go with my grandpa hunting was in '72. He still carried a Sav 99 but my uncles and cousins all carried the Rem pump and autos - 30-06 of course. I think one uncle...

That is such a good looking rifle. Brings back memories of the days when "all" rifles were wood. I remember in those days I sanded and refinished a handfull of stocks to bring out the beauty of walnut and maple. Kinda makes me a little nostalgic of the times.

That's the way to do it ! Right in back yard! Where I'm living in Idaho I've only packed out bulls in back country hunts. All the cows we shoot (as I say "in the back yard"), we can take out whole or in half on a wheeler. Sometimes with a tractor ! Cow elk has been our "red meat" for a few...

I'm thinking..... 243 W 260 Rem 270 WSM 30-06 300 WSM 338 F 50 & 54 cal muzzleloader

When my eyes were younger I used VX II as I could afford it I used VX III. Now my eyes are not what they used to be, I've been buying Swaro, Zeiss and Razors.

I use both Redding and RCBS seater dies. The Redding dies have less run out then others in my expierence.
