Classic. I’d rebarrel that in fluted stainless 6.instagram and add DBM and a tripod mount. Maybe a leather Ching sling.

OP did well, but is exhibiting Boomer Bitterness. Once again, it's up to Gen X to evolve and lead in a manly way. An example of a modern real man's hunting rifle is a Winchester Model 70 Classic (Mauser action) in a stout cartridge like 300 WSM. It's okay if it's SS with a synthetic stock because tools that get used should be durable and weather resistant.

Honestly, if you weren't raised hunting, its a different animal trying to get into it. So I need someone who owns land? Or I start bow hunting on the burbs? It's not too hard to find hunting groups for cheap. Only basic rules were use it for family year round, except turkey and deer season. Orange head and chest down there during deer season Contribute in noticable ways, if you see trash or junk on a fishing trip. Open cabin air it or sweep it. Offer to paint and buy all the supplies . If you have money and no time buy the supplies for broke guys to contribute. Build a climbing stand somewhere. Best time to approach a group right after spring turkey ask if you could hunt in exchange for sweat and cash. Some may sure help us do maintence, you don't even need to assist financially, just come out when we do a work party. Cabin had 2x2 bynk beds. My prior one was great the owner my cousin a super tall native American dude that couldn't shoot for shit! He killed a deer every outing sometimes 2. But they never just dropped. A bosnian Muslim who was a fuckinh murder machine and could get a broken down carcass that would make a coyote a bad meal. Ex turkish sf, turkish muslim. Terrible luck hunting, priciest heat. Me a fat white dude as the camp cook and planner. I handled the menu we all agreed on |

I've shot a lot of deer with my 1952 Savage model 340 in 30-30. It's known as a "Plain Gun." Plain metal, plain finish, plain wood, simple action, simple features. Light, accurate, fast-cycling and extraordinarily reliable. It sold for $40 at gas stations, feed stores, hardware stores, and auto parts stores all over America. I've had it since the late 1960s. It's scarred, dinged, and scratched from decades of field use. And it still shoots great. Especially with a Sierra 150-grain round nose being pushed our the barrel at 2300 fps by IMR 3031. I never met a deer yet it wouldn't drop. Nor have I ever met a deer that took a 30-30 round then whined at me for not using a more "manly" round to drop it.
Next season, I plan to hunt with an AR-15 in 6.5mm Grendel ... built from recycled toothbrushes and sex toys, no doubt. I'm guessing the meat will taste just as good. A "real" rifle" is one that does the job it was designed to do, regardless of looks or the materials used to create it. One dude's opinion. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Honestly, if you weren't raised hunting, its a different animal trying to get into it. So true. I’m fortunate in that I hunt almost everyday during the season. But those that condemn variable scopes, are handicapping themselves. And the Winchester Model 70 is a classic. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I feel rather sorry for anyone so stuck in history they still shoot 30-06. You have my sympathy, if only slightly as being a member of an active gun board you should know better. 30/06 has killed more living things [including people] then all the ''round of the day'' calibers put together. It just makes the younger groups go ''ow, my shoulder hurts'' though. Nothing wrong with a lot of the new stuff, however, making fun of the old calibers and the quality rifles that used them is pretty stupid. Even 5.56 is a pretty old caliber.  One of the best things about those old calibers.........you can actually buy them pretty much anywhere and anyplace that sells ammunition. The ''flavor of the day'' round, not so much. |

I bought a Sako Finbear in 30-06 when I was 16 years old. Had my momma go with me to sign the papers. I plunked down the 240 cash. Didn’t have money for the scope. Had to go back to work to make the Dough-Ray-Me for a Redfield. Now 47 years later it sports a Leopold and still killing anything that needs killing.

I find it fascinating that so many fuss over the newest caliber and think of a rifle is not 6.5 PRC or a magnum they can’t take deer down at 900 yards.
I think you should hunt with whatever you want. AR, FAL, M1 whatever. It’s just funny living on the east coast every one wants a 1000 yard rifle to hunt 150 pound deer at 75 yards. I actually watched a guy with a long range scope miss a hog at 30 yards twice do to excessive scope magnification. A 3006 with a 2-7 scope can kill everything in North America. Getting with the times sometimes is a waste of time and money. Now live out west and hunt long range not a bad deal, but that same 3006 will shoot farther with a high BC 180 grain farther than 90% of the population has any business taking game with. Sometimes old timers have something young guys don’t years of hard pursuit of game animals. |

The only cartridge that has possibly taken more game than the 30-06 is the 30-30. Both old calibers are still popular for a reason.
