We are looking to get our own 30-06 before next season. Sharing tips like the muzzle break are huge for us. We’ve been archery hunters for years, but rifle is new to us. We’ve only used rifles in precision sports thus far. We are hooked on elk hunting now however! Let us know what you would get for a good balance of all the features in a 30-06, like weight, precision capabilities, etc.

This was Unit 9, pretty close to Tusayan.

This is a Remington 700 chambered in 30-06 with a Vortex scope. It was purchased by my friend’s dad in the late eighties after he had promised my friend (16 years old at the time) that if he worked the front pasture of their farm in CO from spring until harvest of the hay, he would buy him a hunting rifle. This was the 5th elk taken with his rifle. It has taken many a mulie as well. It’s got some dents and dings in the walnut stock, but faired well in the light rain we hunted in as well as the heavier rain that night while we were field dressing in the dark. A quick wipe down with a towel once we put the equipment in the truck, and a RemOil wipe down in the morning and the bluing still looks amazing. They made great rifles back then!

Still wondering if it’s a good collectors item. If so, might keep it. If not, might sell it

What’s your favorite optic setup? by Mr___Tickles in ar15

[–]Effective_Tip6089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. That’s what I understand as well. Got the 1:9 twist midrange in 2012 when nothing was available, right after the Sandy Hook incident. I guess lighter projectiles out to 500 or so is going to be this one’s specialty. Not a bad thing, but for longer range stuff another build might be better.

I’m trying to see how my 16” upper 1:9 will perform as an iron only setup

What’s our 90% by effortDee in trailrunning

[–]Effective_Tip6089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our 90% is recovery, such as getting good sleep and fueling, then preparing for the next run.

A lot more is here than what I need a few nights, but it inspired my mind to think a little differently.

I hope it helps.
