[QUOTE="73driver, post: 1661351, member: 36473"] LOL shot 1,000's of rounds through 30-06 A3-03 Springfield's with steel but plates at 13 years old and onward (5' 11" 170 lbs) hunted for years with a SPFD 03 30-06 in Fajen sporter stock with hard plastic but plate with a 4X Lyman scope older than I was ( I'm 63). That thing would shoot 1.125 inches or better at 100 yds. finally after 20 years shooting, loading and hunting with what was my old mans rifle I bought a MOD 70 Winchester Classic in 06 in 92 and put that baby in H S Precision stock with a nice cushy but pad. The 06 is a Hammer you feel the recoil and mostly you can sling a 180 gr out the muzzle at 2800 fps with H4350. But having shot 338 Win Mag and 300 Win Mag I can say unequivocally the Win Mags HAMMER you harder. Out to 400/500 yards on Elk is as far as I personally would feel comfortable shooting em with the 06. 300 Winnny mag short or belted is my vote for out to 600 yards. [/QUOTE]
