30-06 for everything???!

[sherpa]

30-06 or bust for me in 2024. In a time where you have to shoot the newest cartridge and are called a fudd for shooting anything else. This season I will be leaving the custom rifles in the safe and will be shooting a Factory Browning X-Bolt in 30-06 for all my rifle hunts. I topped it with a Maven RS1.2 and will be shooting Hammer 151AH monos pushed by old reliable H4350.

I am really concerned that in 2024 the 30-06 is incapable of killing animals. Below is a list of my rifle hunts for this season we will see if this caliber is obsolete.

August Maui Axis Deer
September Antelope
Oct/Nov So Cal Deer
Nov 3rd Season Mule Deer
January Sonora Coues


Stay tuned, I will let you know in this thread if the bullets bounce off.

Oh one last thing it has a stock made out of some weird organic material???

My first deer rifle was a Springfield 03A3; which my dad sporterizeed, with a Weber K-2, on a trip to Colorado in 1961 the scope fogged up so I had to leave out in the seat of the jeep. When I got back home I sent it to Weaver to have it resealed instead the charged me $25 for a new one. I asked them to send it to TK Lee to put a 4minute dot in it. It’s in my son in-laws safe now, replaced with a Mod 70 270 and a Ruger 243, all the fire power you need
