[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1328906, member: 33159"] My 30-06 was my very first big game rifle, and kinda holds a spot in my heart like a first girlfriend!! I bought it at Sports Authority in '95 for $350. It's a Savage 110. It came with a hard case, leather sling, walnut stock and a bore sighted Bushnell 3-9x scope (and I still have all of those components). It's the most inexpensive weapon I own and it's an absolute tack driver, and that was before I changed anything on the rifle. It shoots sub moa with the cheapest to the most expensive factory ammo. It killed every Michigan cedar swamp deer I ever put the crosshairs on, and it out shot my hunting friends' expensive Browning. It's in a Bell & Carlson stock with a nice Zeiss Conquest HD scope on it now. I hand load for it, and it shoots about 0.25 moa if I'm doing my part. It was the easiest of all my rifles to do load development for. I bring it along on all of my hunts as my back up rifle in case I have an issue. I honestly should take it hunting more often. It's a great caliber [/QUOTE]
