I'm surprised. You use the same bullet as a 308 and could use the same barrel. Unless I am mistaken, the only thing that has to be different between a 30 '06 rifle and a 308 rifle is the chamber size (and of course bolt action pull length, bolt size, etc). I'm not a ballistician, but I don't get it. Here Chris http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=165663802 Unless you are going to shoot over 800 yds, there is not really an advantage to a 30 06. For hunting you will have a different result depending on game and bullet weight.

Of course they are. First it was the Forbidden Fruit, now it is the Angel Bra.

If it is open carry make sure you wear a good level 3 retention holster. Since there is no need to hide it, this should not be a problem. But you will NEED TO TRAIN with it. It is a whole new ballgame when drawing, but is easy to master. I am all for open carry.

Chad, you really have to get rid of the Crack of Maks. My eyes burn everytime I read a post of yours.

I will vote, and it will be a big ole NO.

Nostalgia, plus when you get into the 300's it has a lot of calibers to equate the check #'s to.

Happy Birthday

Yes it is normal. Wait till you equate every number you see into a caliber. Reloading only makes it worse.

Howdy, an Arisaka is a fun rifle. 7.7 or 6.5?

There was one trying to get through my neighbors fence last week.

Well I am not commiting to a damn thing anymore. I take off of work, schedule a dumpster for 0900 delivery and got screwed because they forgot to add me to the list. Had a few other hiccups with it and finally goot it dropped at 1530. Sorry guys.

I am still hoping to. Tammy is working till 1130 and we hope to get there for 1300. If it is too crowded I may not be able to stick around. Need to be home for the kids after school.

yes it should

If you are close enough, you are welcome to shoot my XD 40 one night.

It is one of those DOH moments. I have those every day.

Of the 2 you asked about, XD without a doubt. It is simply more comfortable in my hand. Both are reliable guns. If you look at other choices in the price range, CZ would be a great choice. 15 rd mags are availible form CZ's website. Stay away from Maks' Pimp Gun. It is Butt Ugly

I agree Go Sig

Depending on the gun and its intended use will affect this as well. After hunting season, I completely rip apart my gun and clean and oil it. I like Tico tools for barrel cleaning in between shoots as well. My Semi auto shotguns will receive more attention and cleaning then my O/U and pumps after each use.

Whenever I had a question on reloading for rifles, I would call and eventually E mail the Bullet Techs at Sierra. They are a wealth of information and willing to help with any question. I wish I had this forum as a resource back then. That was a good article Maks

Why the Rambo Grip, hold the magwell like the rest of us :violence-hammer:

M1A, always a good choice

He is a chucklehead, that is why he was banned twice.
