[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1799271, member: 60453"] Sorry to hear about your dad. Mine passed in 2005, on Feb. 1st. I just got my 5th '06 last week. It is a Ruger M77 with the tang safety. I got it for 250 plus tax and I think it may have had 150 rounds fired through it. It was in a pawn shop for the last two years, and they finally came down on their price so I bought it. I'll let you know how it shoots after I put the rings and the scope on it. I really like the -06. I killed two antelope this Fall with my 03-A3 and a Ruger M77MKII, both using Sierra 200 grain Gameking seconds bought from Midway. Velocities were over 2600fps, and accuracy was around 1 inch for 5 shots with both rifles. Shots were made at 200 yards. The '06 may not be the youngest horse in the barn, but it works just fine. It really shines with 180 to 200 grain bullets, too. [/QUOTE]
