[QUOTE="Weaselthis, post: 1715826, member: 19417"] It's easy for me to be nostalgic about the '06. My father was a two time Bronze star recipient in WW2. We didn't have guns in our house till I was 12. For his birth day that year Mom bought him a sporterized Springfiled 03 in 30'06 that had been modified for a "Pedersen's device" so I was told. I got the gun at 14 when he passed. Shot my first deer with it. Some one stole it in a house burglary the same year I got married, 1977. Mom bought me a Remmy 700, 1960's era receiver out of a pawn shop in Monahans, TX for $125 for MY 27th b-day, in 1977. I still have it. Has a new Bartlein bbl. on it, and had a smith work over the action and the old trigger at 2lbs. Shoots 200g Accubonds at 2720fps into 3/4" at 200 yds. Killed what PROBABLY will be my last elk with it in Colo. in 2017. My son will get it when I go and promised that my grandsons will get when he does. Gives me comfort in that thought. [/QUOTE]
