Anybody have any cures for 06 ailments? Can't seem to get rid of it. Picked up a 1991 Browning A-bolt with a new Bell and Carlson stock on it. Couldn't pass it up at the price tag. That makes 5. :shock: What would any man possibly need with five 30-06's? Gave it the usual cleaning regiment and adjusted the trigger to 3.25 lbs. Waiting on winter to ease up to test it out.
Might have a disease.

You sound like me! LOL
5 .30-06 rifles are never enough!
This coming from a man who has 3 .30-06's himself!

Only five? You're not even trying! Clearly, you need for focus to really stand out!

Went through some of my stockpile the other day......over 700 once fired 30-06 brass I've accumulated. Enough 30 caliber bullets and IMR 4350 to load up a small wagon. Clearly I've developed some kind of affinity for the cartridge. It just kind of snuck up on me.

Well, you could do far worse than to own a 30-06. Still a great cartridge that needn't be kept in the shade for most situations.

Yeah in hindsight not a bad place to be with that cartridge with everything that's going on. One of those 30-06's and my 760 35 Remington would be the last 2 rifles I would get rid of from purely a cover all bases perspective. The M71 348 Win that was my Dad's would cover those bases also, but components are hard to get.

30-06 is one of the top 5 cartridges in my book!

Long ago and in a far away place (oops wrong story) I also had five, a 03 Custom , 721 Remington, and two post 64 Winchester Mannlichers . I now I have a Springfield original, arsenal rebuild, the 721 is a 35 Whelen, and the 03 custom is still with me. As others have said you can't have to many.

I see some things never change. Never a shortage of enablers on here. Ha! I'm so busy right now I don't have time to keep my coffee cup filled much less do anything with rifles so I'm not sure why I thought I needed another one. I'm hoping spring brings both better weather and some free time.

Here's my cure. Have a few shoulder surgeries. Then have a total replacement in which the wrong parts are installed in the wrong place. Then have half that artificial joint torn out. Voila. 30-06 free. While that approach works, I don't really recommend it.

My go to gun in a Tikka varmint stainless.
I fear the barrel is on the way down.
Not sure what to replace it with.
Might go with one of the few European wildcats - a 7,62x57.
Or just a new 30-06...

The only thing better than one .30-06 is more .30-06s!

Having one .30-06 is like eating potato chips, once you have one, you just can't stop with one, YOU GOTTA HAVE MORE!!!

I only have three. My dad's old Rem model 740 Woodsmaster that hasn't seen the light of day in 20 years, and somehow I ended up with two identical Savages. Although one of the savages I'm thinking about letting JES rebore to 35 Whelen.
