[QUOTE="RogueWatchmen, post: 532085, member: 35746"] While I'm admittedly a novice in every sense I do believe the comment on the 30-06 being the first sniper round was actually this "The 06 was the first thousand yard sniper caliber. It has taken more game in this country than all other rounds combined largely due to the many millions of them that were sold as surplus after the wars." I didn't verify it being correct, but it does sound like it would be correct. Aside from that lets please not resort to who knows more on the history of which weapon. With anything people are passionate about it can only end up poorly and thats not my intent on this topic. I'm curious on the Remington 700, someone stated the barrel was "Practicly glued" to the stock I believe it was, who does the bedding and float make it better? I'm not even sure how to google that properly lol. As for pawn shops I'm going to hit some tomorrow I think, what are some of the things I should keep an eye out for to tell me if it's a stud or a dud lol. I've never owned a new weapon, but given this is something I want for long range I think it needs to be held to a higher standard than when buying it. [/QUOTE]
