[QUOTE="turkn8r1, post: 1523550, member: 52709"] A friend and I recently purchased a pair of 30-06s for swamp hunting whitetails from climbers. Only complaint we had was the trigger pull. Picked up a couple of spring kits from McCarbo and trigger pull cured. Rifle is compact and light so added a muzzle brake. Both are excellent shooters 1/2 to 1' groups off the lead sled at 100 no problem with hand loads. 168 gr Barnes tsx at 3,000 fps. No there are no pressure issues. Shot a doe last weekend at 160 instant dispatch exactly where I aimed. Topped with a Sig Sauer 3-9x50 whiskey3. Excellent rifle and great price point. I own some very expensive custom hunting rifles with Nightforce optics but this little guy fits right in for it's intended purpose and at intermediate ranges can hold it's own. Haven't attempted to take it out past 200 so can't speak to that, [/QUOTE]
