[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2403796, member: 30902"] I doubt it's quite that high but certainly in half or more I'd expect you to be correct. I've got my dad's first year of production Remingon 760 pump that came from Amarillo Hardware in the fifties, the wholesaler our store used, that came packaged with the 4x weaver it still wears. Tomorrow I could without a doubt kill a hog, deer, moose, bear, or anything else in N. America confidently with it. Obsolescence doesn't mean junk, it just means they've pretty much been left behind by more modern rounds. No insult at all. My Ruger No 1 in 25-06 was the most accurate rifle I'd ever shot, including our military rifles until about 1996 and was my favorite for everything form prairie dogs to Pronghorn and White tail for quite a few years. The 7RM and STW following however finally got a grip on me and I haven't owned one since. If I had that rifle today though, I'd still hunt with it at least occasionally but my 6.5's have distinct advantages over it. One thing about the 06 though, it and the wildcats off of it have retained enough popularity that getting brass for them is a heck of a lot easier usually than more modern and popular rounds.
