[QUOTE="ridgewalker, post: 3004346, member: 55998"] Hmmm…I have been shooting an old Remy 78 in 30-06 for many years. I adjust the trigger to 3 lbs and it has worked fine. With handloads almost everything I shoot is from 3/8-3/4”. 110 grain at 1900 fps to 200 grain at 2,575 fps. It has taken grouse, rabbits, bobcat, coyote, PDs, turkey, whitetail and muleys, elk, and antelope. I think that’s about all my grey matter can remember. The old rifle has some rust spots and plenty of scratches (Me too). Came with a birch stock, but I put a cheap plastic stock on it long before all the nice fiberglass ones came out. Today it is my loaner and backup rifle. I wouldn’t mess with yours until you have put several boxes of factory loads down it to find out if it likes any. Here are some of my more recent tests: [ATTACH type="full"]532409[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]532410[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]532411[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]532412[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
