Welcome from another newcomer. I also am a huge fan of the 30-06... it is by far my favorite all around cartridge. If I had to choose only one rifle to keep it would be an '06. Tat being said, I went ahead and picked up the 270 WSM. It's in almost pristine shape, only 23 rounds through it...

Just getting in to long range shooting, in fact I've never really hunted with a scope other than low power (1-4x) once in a while... a long range shot for me has always meant anything past 200 yards. I've been looking at the 6.5 Creedmoor, and will pick one up soon, but in the meantime I'm...

Hello from the Deep South... I've only recently become interested in long range hunting/shooting, as well as reloading. I've always been an up close and personal type of hunter, and my primary rifles have been 30-30s for years. A few weeks ago I decided during a mixed hunt in Texas that I want...
