Hi all,
For all of you .30-06 users out there IÂ’m hoping for some advice/suggestions on what rifles to consider or even just what you use and why you like it.
IÂ’ve just received my FAC back with an additional slot for a .30-06 on it and IÂ’m keen to get it filled as soon as possible! IÂ’m just not sure what route to go down rifle wise at the moment. I have several other stalking rifles, all of which are walnut and blued barrels and I think that a good quality synthetic or perhaps even laminate is the way to go now, particularly as one of my permissions seems to be like permanently stalking in a swamp.
I know that the .30-06 is sometimes regarded as having a bit of a bite to it but the only one I have shot previously was a friends unmoderated heym sr21 and I actually found it a joy to shoot, this kind of surprised me given that I had imagined it to be a bit of a mule.
I donÂ’t know whether it was the weight of my friends rifle or something else but ideally IÂ’d like to find a good quality synthetic rifle that doesnÂ’t have one of the flimsy feeling synthetic stocks. IÂ’d like something that feels solidly built and that doesnÂ’t exaggerate the recoil by being too light. Any other thoughts or general advice on the calibre would be appreciated as well!
Thanks IÂ’m advance,
