Thanks,

I wanted something for the thick shit we hunt in around here and this fit the bill perfectly.

I really am happy with the way the 3 dot sights worked out too. The ammo is holding 1.0" groups at 50 yards couple of the 3 shot groups were just under 1.0" but most were a few hairs over that.

The deep recessed 11 degree target crown I cut into the muzzle is working out great. If I still reloaded I think I could get them touching at this close range.

Out of the dozen or so Mosin rifles I played with this one has the best barrel on it.

i posted it because i am a big supporter of 30-06 and find it funny when everyone bashes it because their .308 "is good to 1000yds"

I'm with you. My long range caliber of choice.

I've killed most of my deer with a 30-06. With the right bullets they don't take a step. I've shot a couple with a .270 and three with a 7 mag. The 7 you have to use the right bullets or it completely destroys a deer. 150 gr ballistic tips are not a good choice. It looked like I hit it with a car when we pulled the skin off. I just traded it for a .300 win mag. I killed a 200lb hog with it so far. It didn't even twitch. 180 gr PSP's didn't tear up too much meat. I got the .300 mag so I could use the same bullets to reload all my rifles 30-06 and .308 all use the same. I would really like to get a .44 mag or .454 Casull pistol. Never shot a deer with a handgun.

The 30-06 round is awesome I like the 150gr. SP for deer I use 165gr. SP for bear.
