Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Thumbs up Picked up a new rifle

today. Well, new to me anyway. Its a Remington 742 BDL in (of course) 30-06. Has basket weave "checkering", darn pretty stock, which has to go first thing. An old Tasco 3-9 scope, in see through mounts. That will come off real soon. After I test fire it, and pick up some extra mags (some 10 rounders), put on a plastic stock and red dot, it will be my dark woods rifle for elk and deer. I'll try to get pic's soon.

I've never heard the 30-06 called that, but ya I suppose it could be considered a thumper. This is my 3ed 06, I have two others, my beloved Savage and a NEF. The Savage is my long range rifle. When I say "long range" I am talking 600 yards and beyond. The NEF, well, I like the rifle better with the .223 barrel. The 06 barrel is not really even broke in. This rifle is diffirent, it's main job will be as a "thumper" in dark forest, if you can see 25 yards your in a clearing. It needs to be fast and hit hard, I think this will foot the bill.

Well at 200 to 600+ yards all you hear when it hits a berm is a thud or thump.

I use red dots for about all of my shooting anymore. About the only exception is my cowboy action shooting.

Not to much that has a pulse that a "well placed shot" from a 30-06 won't bring down.

30-06 caliber is one of the most versatile … anywhere from very light to very heavy bullet weight, they hit hard and get it done.

Amen to that,

220 grain loads have killed everything in North America very, very dead. And done it often!

Wouldn't feel helpless in Africa, if that's all I had.

Don't forget, 7mm Mauser and .303 Enfield have probably killed more Elephant than everything else put together.

Might not be an ideal first choice for everything, but it will get the job done.

My customized 1917 Enfield might be a tad worn for long range Target competition, but she's still plenty good for hunting, Just a tad heavy with that Target stock. Still the original barrel too, maybe those WWI guys were better armed than we might think.

7mm Mag was real popular here for a while, but when you compare real world chronograph and ballistics, there really isn't much if any difference between it and the 30-06.

Still the one to judge all the others by.

Yup! I'm kinda partial to the '06.

Regards,
